[PATCH] reiserfs lfs fix for 2.4.4-pre5 and above

[Chris Mason]

Hello everyone,

2.4.4-pre5 started honoring the s_maxbytes field, so reiserfs needs a 
patch to allow files > 4GB on 3.6.x format filesystems.

If you work with large files on reiserfs and are willing to try
the prerelease kernels (non-production), please give this a try, 
it works for me but I'd like a few confirmations before I send to Linus.

This also prevents someone from using truncate to expand an old 
format file past the 2GB mark.
