Yeah.  But looking deeper does the size argument actually make any
sense for the host devices?  What we do right now is to seek to the
total_size * 512 as some sort of tests, but it's not actually in any
way encoded in the image, we'll always get the normal raw_getlength
return value when quering for the size later.
