Should block-number-in-file vars be using blkcnt_t?

The blkcnt_t type recently went into to 2.6 to handle "large single files" as a configuration option; i.e. more than 32 bits of blocks in a file offset. Right now this seems to be used only in the inode's i_blocks field. Looking over Takashi Sato's patches to increase the maximum size of a file in ext3, I wonder if it might be a good idea to start using blkcnt_t in ext3, wherever we are counting blocks in a file?
