Ok, here is my first attempt at the 32 bit block number to 64 bit
byte offset conversion for the BUF/BIO subsystem. This is a very
preliminary patch set, alpha quality. Please be warned that the
code involves the disk I/O path so bugs can wind up corrupting the
data on your disks.

This patch needs a TON of testing, especially with various filesystems
and block devices. The patch will be committed in two weeks, tentatively.
