Description
What the title says.

I'm not sure this is a good idea. If you need to adjust the blocksize reported, change the blocksize of your COMSTAR LU - it's what it's there for.
Default is 512 bytes because most legacy clients expect 512 byte sectors; newer initiators will also support 4K (as the new drives). I am not sure what the behavior of an arbitrary initiator will be once you deviate from 512 or 4096. Things may very well fall apart.

This change is not meant to change the blocksize reported by COMSTAR but instead to allow other zvol consumers to be able to query the blocksize that is being used by the zvol. COMSTAR can continue to use it's current mechanism.
