Hi Eric, yep, confirmed that doing mkfs.xfs -b size=1024 (used 1024
instead of 512 so that 240 would run) makes 091, 240, and 268 work
without my changes.

ext4 and btrfs did work, so perhaps that is what they are doing, I
have not looked yet.

The name was added in this commit, and the message would lead me to
believe that Jeff intended for the test to not run on a 4k physical
sector disk with a 4k fs, so is the "logical_block_size" name a
misnomer?
