Problem with qa/1024

The datafile linux/blkdev-root-006.tgz looks to have been snarfed from a 64-bit system.

Note in particular the line
   8      16 sdb 414013162 71693 36707072386 4035660252 2590650281 59040528 132756882504 3194780180 0 1226902588 2955891420

now block reads (36707072386) and block writes (132756882504) in particular for qa/1024 are 64-bit numbers, but on a 32-bit platform the corresponding metrics are 32-bits long, so I see this QA failure ...

Possible fixes are
(a) hand edit the data file so the values are no larger than 32 bits, or
(b) make the test run differently on 32-bit platforms (skip this data set) and have a variant 1024.out file.

I'm not sure exactly what this test is aiming to cover, so don't want to punt on the correct approach until someone who knows chimes in.
