Good thing, especially the good probability :), and also a good patch
which comes with a test.

But I wonder if anything can break this way?  Migration, windows guest
being unable to find its partitions, something else?

And more.  What-if our drive size in cylinders will be larger than
the size in bytes?  The proposed div_round_up() will increase number
of cylinders, so size in CHS will be larger than size in bytes.  Maybe
there was a reason why originally the size in cylinders was calculated
by truncating extra fractional part?  What-if guest will try to access
the very last CHS which is incomplete?

Thanks,
