When the kernel is compiled _without_ support for large (>= 2TiB) block
devices, code in the sd driver's read_capacity() routines rejects devices
whose count of native-sized blocks does not fit in the 32 bit sector_t
type. A device reporting 4294967296 512-byte blocks will be rejected, but
a device of equal capacity reporting 2147483648 1024-byte blocks will not.
The latter case causes problems, for example misreporting of device
capacity by BLKGETSIZE64. This is because the kernel converts a device's
capacity in native-sized blocks to an equivalent number of 512-byte units
and stores the result in a sector_t - which is too small for devices such
as those noted above.
To prevent this, when the kernel is compiled without support for large
block devices, the read_capacity() routines must reject any device whose
capacity is 2 TiB or greater regardless of its count of native-sized
blocks.
