All block devices in a XFS kernel need a special patch to add an ioctl
to set the logical block size. The original poster probably didn't add
that ioctl to his new hacked in LVM; which will cause all kinds of 
problems with xfs user tools and also probably file system corruption.

My guess is when Linus does; as maintaining any more changes to Linus
than necessary is a lot of work.
