Btrfs on-disk format has reserved the first 1MiB for the primary super
block (at 64KiB offset) and bootloaders may also use this space.
This behavior is only introduced since v4.1 btrfs-progs release,
although kernel can ensure we never touch the reserved range of super
blocks, it's better to inform the end users, and a balance will resolve
the problem.
