I did this a little differently, switching to getopt_long in mkfs.btrfs and 
using [-s | --sectorsize ] for sectorsize.  -s used to be stripesize, but 
that needs to be redone for the multi-device code anyway.

You can pull down integrated versions of your patches from:

http://www.kernel.org/hg/btrfs/kernel-unstable
http://www.kernel.org/hg/btrfs/progs-unstable

Make sure to update both, there are minor format changes hidden in the 
unstable tree since you last used it.
