    this patch adds a buffer_alignment field to BlockDriverState and
    implements a qemu_blockalign function that uses that field to allocate a
    memory aligned buffer to be used by the block driver.
    buffer_alignment is initialized to 512 but each block driver can set
    a different value (at the moment none of them do).
    This patch modifies ide.c, block-qcow.c, block-qcow2.c and block.c to
    use qemu_blockalign instead of qemu_memalign.
    There is only one place left that still uses qemu_memalign to allocate
    buffers used by block drivers that is posix-aio-compat:handle_aiocb_rw
    because it is not possible to get the BlockDriverState from that
    function. However I think it is not important because posix-aio-compat
    already deals with driver specific code so it is supposed to know its
    own needs.
