I did consider that before sending the original patch but didn't see a problem. In looking closer, however, it does appear that we'd inadvertently change the reported geometry for 4Kn devices that are sufficiently small. So I fixed that up.

That case I had missed. Ew, gross! But yes, that was broken to begin with. I have to admit I was going back and forth how to fix this. But in the end I find it really ugly that capacity suddenly changes from logical blocks to block layer sectors. And I prefer to make that conversion explicit when it is necessary.
