The vnode pager (used when you do file-backed mmaps) must use the
underlying physical sector size when aligning I/O transfer sizes. It cannot assume 512 bytes. We assume the underlying sector size is a power of 2. If it isn't, mmap() will break badly anyway (in the same way mmap broke with NFS when NFS tried to cache piecemeal write ranges in buffers, before we enforced read-buffer-before-write-piecemeal for NFS).
