xfs: ignore HW which cannot atomic write a single block
Currently only HW which can write at least 1x block is supported. For supporting atomic writes > 1x block, a CoW-based method will also be used and this will not be resticted to using HW which can write >= 1x block. However for deciding if HW-based atomic writes can be used, we need to start adding checks for write length < HW min, which complicates the code. Indeed, a statx field similar to unit_max_opt should also be added for this minimum, which is undesirable. HW which can only write > 1x blocks would be uncommon and quite weird, so let's just not support it. Signed-off-by: "Darrick J.
