Since at LSFMM > 2023 it was decided we would not support larger order folios on buffer-heads, Um, I didn't agree to that. If block size is equal to folio size, there are no problems supporting one buffer head per folio. In fact, we could probably go up to 8 buffer heads per folio without any trouble (but I'm not signing up to do that work).
