Log:
  MFC r310013 (by cperciva):
  
  Check that blkfront devices have a non-zero number of sectors and a
  non-zero sector size.  Such a device would be a virtual disk of zero
  bytes; clearly not useful, and not something we should try to attach.
  
  As a fortuitous side effect, checking that these values are non-zero
  here results in them not *becoming* zero later on the function.  This
  odd behaviour began with r309124 (clang 3.9.0) but is challenging to
  debug; making any changes to this function whatsoever seems to affect
  the llvm optimizer behaviour enough to make the unexpected zeroing of
  the sector_size variable cease.
  
  PR:		215209
  Security:	The potential for variables to unexpectedly become zero
  		has worrying consequences for security in general, but
  		not so much in this particular context.
  
  MFC r310086:
  
  In xbd_connect(), use correct scanf conversion specifiers for the
  feature_barrier and feature_flush variables.  Otherwise, adjacent
  variables on the stack, such as sector_size, may be overwritten, with
  disastrous results.
  
  Note that I did not see a good reason to revert the addition of zero
  checks introduced in r310013.  Better safe than sorry.
