64k block size in 64-bit Linux

Question. 

I just loaded up a 64-bit  distribution of Linux. I compiled the kernel 
optimized for AMD -- (which is what  I have, dual Opterons). When I go to put 
XFS 
on my big RAID array, I am able to  create the filesystem with a 64k block 
size. But then I can't mount it.  

I was under the impression that with 64-bit Linux, one could make xfs  
partitions with large block sizes -- that with 64-bit Linux, there's no 4K  
limitation. Am I missing something? What do I have to do to be able to mount  
this 
RAID? 

Thanks in advance for some wisdom.
