These patches go on top of the ones I sent on 8/16, and incorporate some fixes found
in Takashi's patchset that I'd missed, and a few things I think we both missed :)

patches/fix_more_formats        just what it says
patches/group_block_inlines     standardize group block calcs
patches/32_bit_inodes           overflows & types related to 32-bit inodes 
patches/more_rounding_overflows more arithmetic overflows

One thing I'm trying to work out - Takashi had some things like this in his patchset:

- start = blocks_per_group * group_desc_count - 1;
+ start = blocks_per_group * (__u64)group_desc_count - 1;

I'm trying to convince myself whether or not bpg * gdc can really overflow
on a filesystem with valid geometry; I suppose the cast is harmless, and this
could be patch 5/4 ....

I'm also looking through Takashi's patch 19/24 "large files and filesystems" to figure
out if any of the llseek changes need to be made to support large filesystems.

I'll put this patchset up at http://people.redhat.com/esandeen/ext3/e2fsprogs-1.39-16T
as well (with the original patchset included).
