Blargh, I think I was a bit hasty; I think this should be:
+ btt->nd_btt->size = btt->nlba * (u64)btt->sector_size;
Right? (I always get bit by integer promotion rules...)
...but at this point we're identical to what the block layer is
reporting. The other 'size' attributes are communicating the raw
byte-aligned capacity of the namespace minus local driver overhead.
