BLK_QUEUE_ALIGNMENT_(9)		 Block Devices	       BLK_QUEUE_ALIGNMENT_(9)

NAME
       blk_queue_alignment_offset - set physical block alignment offset

SYNOPSIS
       void blk_queue_alignment_offset(struct request_queue * q,
				       unsigned int offset);

ARGUMENTS
       q
	   the request queue for the device

       offset
	   alignment offset in bytes

DESCRIPTION
       Some devices are naturally misaligned to compensate for things like the
       legacy DOS partition table 63-sector offset. Low-level drivers should
       call this function for devices whose first sector is not naturally
       aligned.
