The problem must be deeper, since setting it in GEOM doesn't affect
the non-GEOM case.  GEOM can't set it, since it might be different
from the sector size.  Stefan Esser reported some ordering and/or
cloning problems.  GEOM apparently creates an extra device whose
si_bsize_phys can't be touched by the md driver.
