sector size warning at mount time

On ppc64 I'm tripping this warning:
if (verbose &&
(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE / BITS_PER_LONG) > sectorsize) {
printk(KERN_WARNING
"XFS: %u byte sectors in use on device %s. "
"This is suboptimal; %u or greater is ideal.\n",
sectorsize, XFS_BUFTARG_NAME(btp),
(unsigned int)PAGE_CACHE_SIZE / BITS_PER_LONG);
}
and it's telling me I should have 1024-byte sectors...
If the kernel is going to complain at mount, should we get it right
at mkfs time? I'm not even quite sure why it's recommending this?
Thanks,
-Eric
