  Log:
  Use DEV_BSIZE byte sectors instead of PAGE_SIZE byte sectors for
  swap-backed memory disks.  This reduces filesystem allocation overhead
  and makes swap-backed memory disks compatible with broken code (dd,
  for example) which expects to see 512 byte sectors.  The size of a
  swap-backed memory disk must still be a multiple of the page size.
  
  When performing page-aligned operations, this change has zero
  performance impact.
