This patch fixes some LBD problems in the core Linux filesystem code.
I will send another message that has fixes for various filesystems.

(For review, enabling LBD [large block device support] changes sector_t
to a 64-bit quantity on i386 to support disks >= 2 TB.  All sector
numbers should be of type sector_t rather than long or unsigned long,
which are only 32-bit on i386.  One must also be careful to typecast
long or int values to a 64-bit value before shifting left to avoid
losing bits.)

I haven't tested these changes at all, so please review and comment.
