My main thought was what did we want to do in terms of Koji Imada's three
proposals (which have been languishing in PR's 3790, 3791, and 3792).

To summarize, they are:

3790:	File system sector size == block io unit == physical sector size

3791:	block io unit == DEV_BSIZE, fs's can do what they want, and
	drivers adjust i/o for different size devices

3792:	block io unit == physical sector size and file system sector size
	can be != block io unit

I gather then either 3790 or 3792 is the consensus?

Does anyone have recent diffs?

Take care,

Bill
