Heh, I put it there to be with the other block size validity checks,
and I made the error message consistent with the inode size error
message:

$ mkfs.xfs -N -i size=256 /dev/ram1
Minimum inode size for CRCs is 512 bytes
Usage: mkfs.xfs
....

I can move it about and change it, but swings and roundabouts,
really ;)
