It crashes because we forgot two things in this series below, so the
change below its us to enable to *at least* boot up to 64k LBA format on
NVMe.

One can reproduce this with kdevops with:

make defconfig-lbs-xfs-bdev-nvme
make bringup
make linux

I've added another defconfig which bumps the LBA format up to 512 KiB to
see if bootup blows up, that has another defconfig:

make lbs-xfs-bdev-large-nvme
make bringup
make linux

That at least booted. Note that the above defconfigs use this thread's
message ID, so it applies this series on top of the min order branch.
The patch below is just needed.

I'll try next going above 512 KiB.
