The block layer can't support a block size larger than
page size yet. And a block size that's too small or
not a power of two won't work either. If a misconfigured
device presents an invalid block size in configuration space,
it will result in the kernel crash something like below:

So let's use a block layer helper to validate the block size.

Please merge through the block tree because of the
dependency.

Jens can you pick this up?
