Thanks Greg, I'd like to avoid obsoleted EROFS_BLKSIZ
conflicts for 6.1.y anymore (and just a few dependencies
to avoid this), so that will save the future bugfix
backport efforts around the 6.1.y codebase.

For more older stable versions, I will manually handle
conflicts later since more non-trivial dependencies need
otherwise but I think bugfixes for older stable versions
will become fewer and fewer...

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
