I fail to see where we could actually trigger an overflow. The reported
warning looked
If subblock size is large (e.g. 1G) 32 bit math involving it
can overflow. Rather than try to catch all instances of that,
let's tweak block size to 64 bit.
It ripples through UAPI which is an ABI change, but it's not too late to
