The s390-ccw bios fails to boot if the boot disk is a virtio-blk
disk with a sector size of 4096. For example:
dasdfmt -b 4096 -d cdl -y -p -M quick /dev/dasdX
fdasd -a /dev/dasdX
install a guest onto /dev/dasdX1 using virtio-blk
qemu-system-s390x -nographic -hda /dev/dasdX1
The bios then bails out with:
! Cannot read block 0 !
Looking at virtio_ipl_disk_is_valid() and especially the function
virtio_disk_is_scsi(), it does not really make sense that we expect
only such a limited disk geometry (like a block size of 512) for
our boot disks. Let's relax the check and allow everything that
remotely looks like a sane disk.
