[PATCH] Fix page cache limit wrapping in filesystems
Several file systems in tree that nominally support files >2GB set their s_maxbytes value to ~0ULL. This has the nasty side effect on 32bit machines that when a file write reaches the page cache limit (e.g. 2^43) it'll silently wrap and destroy data at the beginning of the file. This patch changes the file systems in question to fill in a proper limit. I also have an alternate patch that adds a check for this generically in super.c, but preliminary comments from Al suggested that he prefered to do it in the file systems, so it is done this way way.
