Paul Durrant 5feeb718d7 xen-block: support feature-large-sector-size
A recent Xen commit [1] clarified the semantics of sector based quantities
used in the blkif protocol such that it is now safe to create a xen-block
device with a logical_block_size != 512, as long as the device only
connects to a frontend advertizing 'feature-large-block-size'.

This patch modifies xen-block accordingly. It also uses a stack variable
for the BlockBackend in xen_block_realize() to avoid repeated dereferencing
of the BlockConf pointer, and changes the parameters of
xen_block_dataplane_create() so that the BlockBackend pointer and sector
size are passed expicitly rather than implicitly via the BlockConf.

These modifications have been tested against a recent Windows PV XENVBD
driver [2] using a xen-disk device with a 4kB logical block size.
