Hello David,

The earlier patchset posted by Chandra Seethraman was to get 4k
blocksize to work with ppc64's 64k PAGE_SIZE. I chose to do 2k
blocksize on x86_64's 4k PAGE_SIZE since that would allow others in
the community to work/experiment with subpagesize-blocksize feature.

The root node of "tree root" tree has 1957 bytes being written by
make_btrfs() (in btrfs-progs).  Hence I chose to do 2k blocksize for
the initial subpagesize-blocksize work. So with this patchset the
supported blocksizes would be in the range 2k-64k.

Thanks,
chandan
