I am not particularly keen on this UINT_MAX magic. I would prefer to
have the stacking driver default for lbs be set to 0 so the stacking
function could avoid special-casing the first iteration. But I am not
sure whether that would break any assumptions in DM/MD wrt. the logical
block size being non-zero prior to calling the stacking function.

Mike? Any comments?

If we stick with the UINT_MAX check, the comment should at least point
out why it's there.
