Ugh.  Hard call.  I agree with you in principle, but looking
at the "stat(2)" man page:

	u_int32_t st_blksize;           /* optimal blocksize for I/O */

Sort of implies that you'll get useful information back for
anything.

For regular files, you'd expect this to be the FS block size,
almost... 8-(.
