Good catch. It is because I have a patch in the outbound queue that allows setting
the block size via a module parameter. The module parameter patch is not
upstream yet. Once I have that up, I will send the patch with the block
size config.

Do you think it is OK to have this redundancy? It would only be for a
few cycles.
