Yes, and the point is to make it not use them *ever*, no matter what
the MTU is.  9k clusters are Bad News; given the choice I would just
as soon rip out all the code for greater-than-page-size clusters, but
that would be way more divergence-from-upstream in my source tree than
I can reasonably manage.
