I want a 2 KiB/block loopback device to help debug udf.ko.

I get 0.5 KiB/block. Did I fail to find an option or an appropriate
kernel patch, I do I have to write my own patch? I'm guessing I'll find
2 KiB/block easy to fake, since 0.5 KiB divides evenly into 2 KiB.

Specifically, I want to see 2048 where now I see 512 in response to my
query `blockdev --getss`. A more complete example console log follows:
