I can't find any such thing in the st driver, but I *did* find two
lines in the ch driver that claim to disable block descriptors;
they're in the ch_get_params function, which is first called from
chattach.  I commented out those two lines, and I still got the same
behavior.  :(  Assuming I made the correct mods, the problem looks
more complicated than that.
