Subject: [PATCH] pnfs/blocklayout: require 64-bit ѕec tor_t

The blocklayout code does not compile cleanly for a 32-bit sector_t,
and also has no reliable checks for devices sizes, which makes it
unsafe to use with a kernel that doesn't support large block devices.

Trond, Anna,

can you pick this up? Maybe even for 3.13 given that it should
be pretty harmless for 98% of the configfs, and will prevent problems
for the others.

The patch looks okay to me, so I'll take it for the next rc.
