Until everyone gets the updated "mount" package,
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/xfs.txt is a good place to
look:

  biosize=size
        Sets the preferred buffered I/O size (default size is 64K).
        "size" must be expressed as the logarithm (base2) of the
        desired I/O size.
        Valid values for this option are 14 through 16, inclusive
        (i.e. 16K, 32K, and 64K bytes).  On machines with a 4K
        pagesize, 13 (8K bytes) is also a valid size.
        The preferred buffered I/O size can also be altered on an
        individual file basis using the ioctl(2) system call.
