This one seems ok for me. Maybe the original one intended to generate
smaller code as asm code, but I guess nowadays compiler can handle it
better with -Os.

I guess essencial part is "shift op" vs "log2 calculation" for blocksize.
The logic seems ok but there are several comments on implementation:

- maybe it's better to have function prototypes, even if they are static
- is it worth to explicitly specify static inline (or gcc already does?)
- I wonder if human2blk(), human2bsd(), and bsd2blk() should be unsigned
- if now cdstrategy() is identical with sdstrategy(), maybe it's better
  to rename current sdstrategy() to sdcdstrategy() and use it both
  sd and cd in devsw[] in stand/boot/conf.c?
