I'm not sure here what you mean. Usually blk_size = pblk_size on
non-s390 systems, so this is completely different from the previous
code, which is effectively
I was trying to prevent the masking of the sector number.

Both can be accessed using virtio-blk-s390. The former have the same
semantics on geometry as what we're used to. They use normal MBRs and
essentially the geometry doesn't mean too much these days anymore ;).
However, if possible, I would like to

For DASD disks, the geometry is important, as its disk label is usually
not MBR, but something s390 specific.
Can we use this to guess the geometry like we do on x86?
Yes, but what do you do with a blank disk? :)
Right. :)

Currently the sector value for the geometry is masked based on
the sector size. This works fine for with 512 physical sector size,
but it fails for dasd devices on s390. A dasd device can have
a physical block size of 4096 (== same for
