[PATCH 00/10] RFC: move logical block size checking to the block core

[Maxim Levitsky]

This patch series aims to move the logical block size checking to the
block code.

This was inspired by missing check for valid logical block size in
virtio-blk which causes the kernel to crash in a weird way later on
when it is invalid.

I added blk_is_valid_logical_block_size which returns true iff the
block size is one of supported sizes.

I added this check to virtio-blk, and also converted  few block drivers
that I am familiar with to use this interface instead of their
own implementation.

Best regards,
	Maxim Levitsky
