From: Max Makarov <maxpain177@gmail.com>

The QSD vhost-user-blk export sets opt_io_size=1 and min_io_size=1 in
the virtio config. These values are reported to the guest through the
VPD Block Limits page as OptimalTransferLength=1 block (512 bytes)
and OptimalTransferLengthGranularity=1 block.

Windows respects these hints and splits all I/O into ~512-byte
requests, causing ~100x sequential throughput degradation (150 MB/s
instead of 15+ GB/s). Linux is unaffected as its block layer ignores
these values.

Set both to 0 which means "not reported" per the SCSI Block Limits
VPD spec, allowing Windows to use its own optimal I/O size defaults.
