mkfs.xfs man page for -nsize

Hi experts,

When trying -nsize=128 and -n6144 option to mkfs.xfs respectively, I got error message:
"Illegal value xxx for -n size option"

But checking the man page,

----------------
-n naming_options
These options specify the version and size parameters for the
naming (directory) area of the filesystem. The valid nam-ing_options are:

size=value | log=value
The block size is specified either as a value in bytes
with size=, or as a base two logarithm value with log=. The default size value for version 2 directories is 4096 bytes (4 KiB), unless the filesystem block size is larger than 4096, in which case the default value is the filesystem block size. For version 1 directories the block size is the same as the filesystem block size.
----------------

I got no idea why the value is illegal.

Checking the codes, I found it also must be larger or equal to block size and it must be in powers of 2, 2^N. Should we add these two limitation to man page?

regards,
wengang.

Yes, this should be added to the man page. Can you submit a patch to add it?
