There's no need for this to be part of this patch.  I've removed stuff
from this patch before that's not needed, please stop adding unnecessary
functions.  This would logically be part of patch 10.

This is really too much.  It's something that will never happen.  Just
delete the message.

Absolutely not.  If the filesystem declares it can support a block size
of 4TB, then good for it.  We just silently clamp it.
