The start address is already taken care of by qemu_blockalign(). With
rounding c->table_size, you'd align the length, and that would be wrong.

Though looking at the code again I see now that c->table_size isn't
consistently used. The I/O requests still use s->cluster_size. We should
either use it everywhere or not introduce it at all.
