?
efi_bl_bind() always calls blk_create_device().
Modifying blk_create_device() should work for EFI.

Yes, there are couple of places to set log2blksz in drivers.
But if any of them sets log2blksz to anything but LOG2(desc->blksz),
it is a bug.
You should clean them up before your patch.
(As in the case that you have suggested me before)
Don't increase local hacks.
