I think the patches in kern/7210 address this inre. the od driver -
but since the od driver is going away on C-day and CAM's da driver
supports (n * 512)-byte blocks for arbitrary n, I don't see much point
in committing it to -current (though it might be worth looking into
committing it to -stable)

IIRC 7210 is assigned to me, but it has lain dormant for a while due
to my terminal condition of laziness + lack of motivation due to the
imminent integration of CAM into -current. If enough people are
interested, I'll brush the dust off it and test it on -stable.
