I'm just curious about this diff in dmesg output between 4.3.2 and 4.3.3 at a 64 bit Gentoo hardened system:

$ diff dmesg-4.4.[23]-hardened | grep logical
< sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 468862128 512-byte logical blocks: (240 GB/223 GiB)
> sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 468862128 512-byte logical blocks: (240 GB/224 GiB)
