[RESUBMIT PATCH] msdos: add support for large disks

From: Daniel Taylor
Date: Tue Mar 02 2010 - 17:49:46 EST


In order to use disks larger than 2TiB on Windows XP, it is necessary to use
4096-byte logical sectors in an MBR.

Although the kernel storage and functions called from msdos.c used
"sector_t" internally, msdos.c still used u32 variables, which results in
the ability to handle XP-compatible large disks.

This patch changes the internal variables to "sector_t".
