Internally address_space_operation (->bmap) uses a sector_t (u64), but
the ioctl truncates it to a 32bit signed integer. With 1K blocks it
gives a limit of 2TB (or 4TB casting back to unsigned int).

What may overflow is this (swap-offset.c:110):
        
        first_block * blk_size

The following patch should fix it:

- Kernel uses unsigned quantify for block number, pass an unsigned int
  to the ioctl.
- Use 64bit math to avoid overflow.
