Ah, right, I forgot about that.

(Is this optimal size for I/O still relevant for modern systems?)

So, if I keep the conditional and use the divide-by-512 way for
systems that don't have st_blocks, is the patch approved?  Or do I
need to wait for someone else?

(Thanks for the other suggestions, I will use them.)
