If total_sectors is rounded to match the geometry, total_size needs to

Looks fine to me, but the spec says: "When the user creates a hard disk of a certain size, the size of the hard disk image in the virtual machine is smaller than that created by the user. This is because CHS value calculated from the hard disk size is rounded down."

So, well, qemu has been violating the specification all along, I guess.

So, with that in mind (that nobody has been screaming so far):

Alternatively we may want to "fix" it, and actually let the CHS size be smaller than total_sectors/total_size, if that's possible. But maybe that'll be even worse, so I'm fine either way.
