Granted existing blk_queue_virt_boundary() users all appear to be at
least 4k, the block API doesn't enforce that. Some unlikely device may
require an even smaller alignment in the future, which would benefit
from this patch.

But yes, the changelog description is a bit confusing to me if the
sighting came from a 4K arch.
