The ext4 file system requires log2blksz to be set. So when setting the
block size on the block descriptor we should fill this field too.

This fixes a problem with EFI block devices providing ext4 partitions, cf.

But I wonder if blk_create_device() should change to take log2blksz as
its parameter and calculate blksz?

CD-ROM mode 2 has 2336 data bytes,
CD-ROM XA Mode 2, Form 2 has 2324 data bytes
according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-ROM.

So we cannot assume that blksz is a power of two in the general case.

LOG2() is behaving a bit erratically for numbers that are not a power of
two (in contrast to what ilog2() does):

LOG2(2048) = 11
LOG2(2049) = 11
LOG2(2324) = 15
LOG2(2336) = 15
LOG2(3072) = 11
LOG2(4096) = 12

ilog2(2048) = 11
ilog2(2049) = 11
ilog2(2324) = 11
ilog2(2336) = 11
ilog2(3072) = 11
ilog2(4096) = 12

But if we ever add an ISO 9660 file system driver, we will not be able
to use log2blksz anyway. So I think we can stick with LOG2().

Best regards

Heinrich
