I think combining large and small devices was not intended use for the
mixed-bg, nevertheless current behaviour is not right.

Chandan is working on dropping the forced mixed-bg completely. We've
discussed that on IRC, I'm ok with it but this needs more testing. So
far it looks fine, small filesystems get created and usable, though some
tuning might be needed.

My intentions for 4.3 is to take Chandan's work provided that we test it
enough. There are like 3 weeks left. In case of problems, I'll take this
patchset so at least we get the inconsisten behaviour fixed.
