Thanks Ojaswin!  That's a good point about generic/692.  The right fix for it is
to make it use $FSV_BLOCK_SIZE instead of 4K in its calculations.

I suppose you saw that issue by running the test on ext4 with fs_block_size ==
page_size == 64K, causing xfstests to use merkle_tree_block_size == 64K by
default.  Thanks for doing that; that's something I haven't been able to test
yet.  My focus has been on merkle_tree_block_size < page_size.
merkle_tree_block_size > 4K should just work, though, assuming
merkle_tree_block_size <= min(fs_block_size, page_size).  (Or
merkle_tree_block_size == fs_block_size == page_size before this patch series.)
