I submitted a workaround a while ago. Anton didn't like it, but has not
come up with a proper fix in ntfs either:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210927141815.1711736-1-arnd@xxxxxxxxxx/

It does need to be changed a bit as I realized it depends on a rework of
the Kconfig logic that I had in my randconfig build tree to have a common
page size symbol across architectures. Without my other patch, it also
needs to check for PPC_64K_PAGES.

Should I send an updated version of the patch?
