block: enable by default support for large devices and files on 32-bit archs
Enable by default support for large devices and files (CONFIG_LBD): - With 1TB disks being a commodity hardware it is quite easy to hit 2TB limitation while building RAIDs etc. and many distros have been using CONFIG_LBD=y by default already (at least Fedora 10 and openSUSE 11.1). - This should also prevent a subtle ext4 filesystem compatibility issue: mke2fs.ext4 defaults to creating filesystems with huge_files feature enabled and such filesystems cannot be later mounted read-write on machines with CONFIG_LBD=n (it should be quite easy to hit this issue when trying to use filesystem created using distro kernel on system running the self-build kernel, think about USB disk enclosures & co.). While at it: - Clarify config option help text w.r.t. mounting ext4 filesystems (they can be mounted with CONFIG_LBD=n but in the read-only mode).
