Sorry, that was by mistake. :(

In the Linux kernel, I see two (three) places where the BLKSECTGET ioctl is
handled:
(1) block/(compat_)ioctl.c -- (compat_)blkdev_ioctl
(2) drivers/scsi/sg.c -- sg_ioctl
The former has been around forever[1], and returns a short value measured in
sectors. A sector is generally assumed to be 512
