Subject: [patch] Make block2mtd work with devices >=4GB

block2mtd uses PAGE_MASK to mask the size and offset values, but
this a 32bit mask and so devices >=4GB wrap around to <4GB.
This adds a define MTD_PAGE_MASK, which casts PAGE_SIZE to loff_t
before inverting it.

Without the patch:

|# echo /dev/sdb3,$((1024 * 1024)) > /sys/module/block2mtd/parameters/block2mtd
|# cat /proc/mtd
|dev:    size   erasesize  name
|mtd0: c0200000 00100000 "block2mtd: /dev/sdb2"
|mtd1: 08e00000 00100000 "block2mtd: /dev/sdb3"

With this patch:

|# echo /dev/sdb3,$((1024 * 1024)) > /sys/module/block2mtd/parameters/block2mtd
|# cat /proc/mtd
|dev:    size   erasesize  name
|mtd0: c0200000 00100000 "block2mtd: /dev/sdb2"
|mtd1: 308e00000 00100000 "block2mtd: /dev/sdb3"

Creating an ubi volume works (but ubinfo seems to use 32bit math to
calculate the size in bytes and MiB):
|# ubinfo /dev/ubi1
|ubi1
|Volumes count:                           1
|Logical eraseblock size:                 1048448 bytes, 1023.9 KiB
|Total amount of logical eraseblocks:     12430 (147306752 bytes, 140.5 MiB)
|Amount of available logical eraseblocks: 0 (0 bytes)
|Maximum count of volumes                 128
|Count of bad physical eraseblocks:       0
|Count of reserved physical eraseblocks:  0
|Current maximum erase counter value:     2
|Minimum input/output unit size:          1 byte
|Character device major/minor:            250:0
|Present volumes:                         0
|# ubinfo /dev/ubi1_0
|Volume ID:   0 (on ubi1)
|Type:        dynamic
|Alignment:   1
|Size:        12426 LEBs (143112960 bytes, 136.5 MiB)
|State:       OK
|Name:        home
|Character device major/minor: 250:1

mkfs.ubifs also claims to succeed, but the ubifs cannot be mounted:
