"large" files are for ei->i_disksize > 0x7fffffffULL, or 2147483647
bytes / 2G. This is just max offset, not block counts; i.e. completely
sparse 2g file will set this flag.
the "huge" sb flag is set if any file has i_blocks > ~0UL, or 2^32
512-byte blocks, or around 2T, but in this case I think sparseness
doesn't count; you have to actually have the blocks allocated.
