//! Block-device client: the helper a filesystem uses to read and write a block
//! device (a USB stick, via usb-storage) without hand-rolling the block-protocol
//! IPC. Layered over `ipc` and the shared `block-protocol` wire format, like
//! `runtime.usb` over the transfer protocol.
//!
//! Transfers name a caller-owned DMA buffer by physical address (from
//! `runtime.dma.alloc`), so whole sectors move without crossing the IPC size
//! limit — the same handoff usb-storage uses toward the controller.
