The block layer can't support the block size larger than
page size yet. If an untrusted device presents an invalid
block size in configuration space, it will result in the
kernel crash something like below:

So this patch tries to use the block layer helper to
validate the block size.

Did you test this with an invalid blk size? It seems unlikely that it
fails properly the way you'd expect.
