More complex than it looks - the mkfs calculation in
calc_default_ag_geometry() is based on byte counts and a sliding
scale of shifts and hence the resultant multidisk AG counts are
implicit side effects of the those AG size calculations. Hence to
make use of a common #define for this sort of striding, we'd need to
rewrite calc_default_ag_geometry().

I'll do that in a separate patch series, as it's not directly
related to this initial introduction of the feature to repair.

Cheers,

Dave.
