We have this checking for ages:
			if (f.l_start > COMPAT_LOFF_T_MAX)
  				ret = -EOVERFLOW;

I think if COMPAT_LOFF_T_MAX is exists, that value can be smaller than 
can fit in off_t.
Checking against COMPAT_LOFF_T_MAX keep old logic works for me last 10 
years.

I have some tests around wine project I worked on. May be later I will 
do additional tests.
