We now can support blocksizes larger than PAGE_SIZE, so lift
the restriction up to the max supported page cache order and
just bake this into a common helper used by the block layer.

We bound ourselves to 64k as a sensible limit. The hard limit,
however is 1 << (PAGE_SHIFT + MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER).

As this is the hard limit, one wonders why we don't use it ...
So please add a comment why we restrict it to 64k.
