Subject: Fix device too big bug in mainline?

Hi all,

Currently, e2fsprogs will fail to create a file system if the
underlying device is "too big" - even if we specify a number of blocks
to use that is in range:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485236

This is fixed in the current pu branch, but more as a side effect of
an enormous 64-bit rewrite.

Ted, any plans to pull this into mainline?
