Sigh, this paragraph isn't quite right.  Let me reword:

This set of patches passes xfstests for both 1k and 4k block sizes.  For
streaming I/O writes, it reduces the number of block I/O queue
submissions by a factor of 128 in the ideal case.  (i.e., instead of
submitting 4k requests at a time, we can now submit up to 512k writes at
a time.)
