    Some *very* major changes by darrenk@insightdist.com (Darren King) · 374bb5d2

    ==========================================
    What follows is a set of diffs that cleans up the usage of BLCKSZ.
    
    As a side effect, the person compiling the code can change the
    value of BLCKSZ _at_their_own_risk_.  By that, I mean that I've
    tried it here at 4096 and 16384 with no ill-effects.  A value
    of 4096 _shouldn't_ affect much as far as the kernel/file system
    goes, but making it bigger than 8192 can have severe consequences
    if you don't know what you're doing.  16394 worked for me, _BUT_
    when I went to 32768 and did an initdb, the SCSI driver broke and
    the partition that I was running under went to hell in a hand
    basket. Had to reboot and do a good bit of fsck'ing to fix things up.
    
    The patch can be safely applied though.  Just leave BLCKSZ = 8192
    and everything is as before.  It basically only cleans up all of the
    references to BLCKSZ in the code.
    
    If this patch is applied, a comment in the config.h file though above
    the BLCKSZ define with warning about monkeying around with it would
    be a good idea.

    (Also cleans up some of the #includes in files referencing BLCKSZ.)
