mke2fs accepts block size not mentioned in its man page

Hi, Just doing some tests on aarch64 with 64K page size. Man page of mke2fs only mentions 3 valid block size: 1k, 2k, 4k. But in real world, we can pass 64K as block size for it without any problem: $mke2fs -F -t ext3 -b 65536 /dev/loop1 Warning: blocksize 65536 not usable on most systems.
