I think specifying object size in multiple of 4MB is overkill. Because
we can specify both of block_size_shift and a number of objects which
belong to VDI. More precisely,
2 ^ block_size_shift * #objects = VDI size
we can choose the block_size_shift between 20 and 30, and #objects
from 1 < 2 ^ 20.
# #objects is specified via VDI size implicitly
The granualarity of VDI sizes seems to be really fine (even
block_size_shift == 30, step is 1GB). So supporting block size with
multiple of 4MB will not provide practical benefit.

Expression of the block size is another topic. I don't have strong
opinion about this.
