Subject: why UDF have so ugly filesize limit?

from fs/udf/super.c:
in function udf_fill_super
sb->s_maxbytes = 1<<30; (1 GB)

Why sb->s_maxbytes is not equal to MAX_LFS_FILESIZE?

So, in include/linux/fs.h written that the filesystems should put that
(MAX_LFS_FILESIZE) into their s_maxbytes, otherwise bad things can
happen in VM.
