ZBC-2 allows host-managed disks to report gap zones. This allow zoned disks
to report an offset between data zone starts that is a power of two even if
the number of logical blocks with data per zone is not a power of two.
Another new feature in ZBC-2 is support for constant zone starting LBA
offsets. For zoned disks that report a constant zone starting LBA offset,
hide the gap zones from the block layer. Report the offset between data
zone starts as zone size and report the number of logical blocks with data
per zone as the zone capacity.
