"block" word is not a block number, actually its an allocated host
address.  Rename it to disk-buf along with a associated
size(disk-buf-size=4096) for using during allocation/free.

Also renaming the helper routine read-sector to read-disk-buf. This
routine assumes the address to be disk-buf and only takes sector number
as argument.
This isn't what I suggested, and I think it is a terrible idea.
Just FWIW :-)
