    [PATCH] 64-bit sector_t - filesystems · 763fb9a3

    Filesystem migration to possibly 64-bit sector_t:
     - bmap() now takes and returns a sector_t to allow filesystems
       (e.g., JFS, XFS) that are 64-bit clean to deal with large files
     - buffer handling now 64-bit clean
    
    Enable 64-bit sector_t on IA32 and PPC.
    
    kiobufs takes sector_t array, not array of long.
    Fix blkmtd.c to deal in such an array.
    
    Miscellaneous fixes for 64-bit sector_t.
     	 - missed printk formats
    	 - ide_floppy_do_request had incorrect signature
    	 - in blkmtd.c there was a pointer used to
    	   manipulate an array to be used by kiobuf --
     	   it was unsigned long, needed to be sector_t
