With 4096-byte blocks a full ECKD track holds exactly 12 records. Lower
DASD_ECKD_MAX_BLOCKS from 190 to 180 so requests align to track
boundaries (15 full tracks); full-track I/O is more efficient than
partial-track writes, and 190 had no alignment significance and could
let a request cross a track boundary.
