The Linux VM subsystem can't support block sizes larger than page size for block based filesystems very well. While this can be hacked around to some extent for simple filesystems the read-modify-write cycles required for pnfs block invalid extents are extremly deadlock prone when operating on multiple pages. Reject this case early on instead of pretending to support it (badly).
