There are too many PAGE_SECTORS definitions, and all of them are the
same. It looks a bit of a mess. So why not move it into <linux/blkdev.h>,
to achieve a basic and unique definition.

A lazy question about page size > 4KB: currently in bcache code the
sector size is assumed to be 512 sectors, if kernel page > 4KB, it is
possible that PAGE_SECTORS in bcache will be a number > 8 ?
Sorry, I don't fully understand your question. I known that the sector size
can be 512 or 4K, and the PAGE_SIZE can be 4K or 64K. So even if sector size
is 4K, isn't it greater than 8 for 64K pages?

I'm not sure if the question you're asking is the one Matthew Wilcox has
answered before:

Thanks.
