OK.  Checkpatch.pl missed this, I guess it doesn't check macros?

This is indeed the minimum size for the entire log - once you get to
patch 7, you'll see it used.  But an interesting thing about this, is
the original 0.95 spec said that 1MB was also the minimum log *entry*
size as well.  But that was incorrect, and the 1.00 spec notes that a
log entry size min is 4KB (same as the log sector size).
