PAGE_SIZE now is a consumer (i.e. file system) limitation.  Having
a flag in the provider (driver) does not make sense.

Most drivers probably don't have a limit other than than that implicit
by the field width used for reporting.  So in general the driver should
not need any checks.  The only exceptions might be for virtual drivers
where the value comes from userspace, but even then it is a bit doubtful.
