Can you explain what the use case is? We have had systems with more
than 4 GB for a while now, so where does this new requirement come
from?

Also, you are changing 'length' to size_t and 'offset' to unsigned
long. What is the rationale behind that? Did you consider 32-bit
architectures with PAE at all?
