That's correct, though there were some pretty sticky issues with MAXBSIZE
since the filesystems (UFS, probably others) assume (wrongly) that
MAXBSIZE is PAGESIZE. Obviously when you up the PAGESIZE this isn't true
anymore, so some code had to be added to make the filesystem understand
that a page doesn't hold a single block, but can hold multiple blocks.
How does UFS on i386 deal with this problem ? AFAIK x86 has 4k pages by
default and only half the size of |MAXBSIZE| ...
It's different, MAXBSIZE being larger than PAGESIZE works, it's the other
way around that presents a problem.
