Virtio-blk does not impose fixed block sizes for access to
backing devices. This patch introduces support for auto
lookup of the block sizes of the backing block device. This
automatic lookup needs to be enabled explicitly. Users may
do this by specifying (physical|logical)_block_size=0.
Machine types may do this for their defaults, too.
To achieve this, a new function blkconf_blocksizes is
implemented. If physical or logical block size are zero
a corresponding ioctl tries to find an appropriate value.
If this does not work, 512 is used. blkconf_blocksizes
is therefore only called w/in the virtio-blk context.
For s390-virtio, this patch configures auto lookup as
default. For virtio-ccw, this is already a default in
the existing upstream implementation.

Detecting the underlying block size is a generally useful configuration
option.  This should not be s390-specific, so no need to rename
DEFINE_BLOCK_PROPERTIES().

If you set the default to 0 then QEMU will do extra ioctls.  Perhaps
BlockDriverState needs a function to probe block sizes.  This way
block/raw-posix.c could do the probing only on hdev (host block
devices).

In the current patch this allows through the 0 value.  Since the patch
only adds a blkconf_blocksizes() call to hw/virtio-blk.c, who knows what
will happen to ide/scsi/etc -drives that are configured with 0.

We need to make sure that 0 is really handled for all emulated storage
controllers.

Shouldn't be virtio-specific, all -drives should be able to autodetect
block size.
