I think this is OK, however...

It seems to me that the XFS_FILBLKS_MIN() call you're making is
sort of magical because it pre-supposes exactly what the following
xfs_bmap_extsize_align() actually does.  And because of that, I
would rather see that logic built into xfs_bmap_extsize_align()
itself.  I haven't looked at it closely, but I presume the other
two spots that call xfs_bmap_extsize_align() would be subject to
the same MAXEXTLEN limit.

OK with me if you disagree though.
