If block drivers say that they can do an alignment < 512 bytes, let's just suppose they mean it. raw-posix used to be an offender with respect to this, but it can actually deal with byte-aligned requests now.
The default is still 512 bytes for any drivers that only implement sector-based interfaces, but it is 1 now for drivers that implement .bdrv_co_preadv.
