Problem is, it's the storage configuration (at administration time, not kernel build time) that matters, too.
I have XFS on Fedora with 4k stacks on SATA /dev/sdb1 on my x86 mythbox, and it's perfectly fine. But that's a nice, simple setup. If I stacked more things over/under it, I'd be more likely to have trouble.
