Hi Matan,
It is a good idea to be able to show the varied block sizes of each PMD/algo.

The doubt I have is limited block sizes 32-bit bsf can represents. Although it
is good enough now for AES-XTS but it already used 1/4 of all available
representation of the different block sizes. If we are to include more block
sizes for different algorithms we really don't have much room left.
Also bsf seems to be a duplication to existing block_size.
There should be a better way to describe varied block sizes in capability.
