I am sure all this was argued before (I missed it all, which is
probably just as well :-) ) but I happen to like "byte offsets"
for struct-buf-values.  But, never mind that :-) , I just have
one or two real comments on this.

You do not need both (and as cgd noted, "unconfigured device" seems
like it should be an error-return).  The reason you only need one
is that all you need is the number of blocks.  The caller can
translate that into a shift if appropriate, e.g.:

	ispow2 = (size & (size - 1)) == 0;
	shift = ispow2 ? ffs(size) - 1 : 0;

Why not have these report whatever size they like?  A memory-disk
could even have a programmable block size, if only for testing the code.

This seems right.  POSIX probably requires 512 (if it says anything
at all about this).
