I don't know why you assume that :). Zonefs had only one place that had
the assumption of po2 zsze sectors:
if (nr_zones < dev.nr_zones) {
size_t runt_sectors = dev.capacity & (dev.zone_nr_sectors - 1);

In my local tree I changed it and I was able to run zonefs tests for non
po2 zone device. I have also mentioned it in my cover letter:
```
ZoneFS:
zonefs-tests.sh from zonefs-tools were run with no failures.
```
I will make sure to add my private tree for zonefs in my cover letter in
the next rev. But even without that change, a typical emulated npo2
device should work fine because the changes are applicable only for
"runt" zones.
