Re: [PATCH] fs: btrfs: Disable BTRFS on platforms having 256K pages

Hi Christophe,

I'm recently enhancing the subpage support for btrfs, and my current
branch should solve the problem for btrfs to support larger page sizes.

But unfortunately my current test environment can only provide page size
with 64K or 4K, no 16K or 128K/256K support.

Mind to test my new branch on 128K page size systems?
(256K page size support is still lacking though, which will be addressed
in the future)

Thanks,
Qu

With a config having PAGE_SIZE set to 256K, BTRFS build fails

BTRFS_MAX_COMPRESSED being 128K, BTRFS cannot support platforms with
256K pages at the time being.

There are two platforms that can select 256K pages:
- hexagon
- powerpc

Disable BTRFS when 256K page size is selected.
