Take a look at the mkfs.xfs man page:

       -s sector_size
              This option specifies the fundamental  sector  size  of
              the filesystem.  The sector_size is specified either as
              a value in bytes with size=value or as a base two loga-
              rithm value with log=value.  The default sector_size is
              512 bytes. The minimum value for sector  size  is  512;
              the  maximum is 32768 (32 KiB). The sector_size must be
              a power of 2 size and cannot be made  larger  than  the
              filesystem block size.

-Eric
