Description:
SYSLINUX hangs after displaying copyright notice when installed on Btrfs. I think it's related to a change in mkfs.btrfs, because I was able to create working setups with previous versions of btrfs-progs.

This issue is already fixed in upstream[1], and I can confirm that the latest Git revision[2] works as expected, as I've tested it. I ask for fix to be included in Arch because it looks like 6.04 wouldn't be released soon (as we don't even have a prerelease version at the moment.)

Additional info:
I'm using a single disk (/dev/vda), and my /etc/fstab file looks like this:

/dev/vda1 / btrfs defaults
/dev/vda2 none swap defaults

Steps to reproduce:
Install SYSLINUX on a system where /boot is located on a Btrfs filesystem.

It works perfectly well :). Please move it from [testing] to [core], and thanks for fixing this!
