A dm-raid array with devices larger than 4GB won't assemble on a 32 bit host since _check_data_dev_sectors() was added in 4.16. This is because to_sector() treats its argument as an "unsigned long" which is 32bits (4GB) on a 32bit host. Using "unsigned long long" is more correct.
Kernels as early as 4.2 can have other problems due to to_sector() being used on the size of a device.
