A real simple patch would be to attempt alignment with 4096 every time
(since 4096 is a multiple of 512 there really wouldn't be a performance
penalty here). This would mean that things are optimal on _ALL_ disks.
(and allow those of us using more advanced diskcontrollers to set the
strip-size (strip size, not stripe size) to 4K as well)
