After thinking about it some more, and looking at the code committed
into the kernel git tree, I've changed my mind and agree that the
extending current group descriptor is simpler than having two versions
of the structure depending on the size of the group descriptor.
Does everyone agree this is what the 64-bit on-desk definition should
be? Should 64-bit support also imply BIG_BG support?

- EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT (0x0080) - support for 64-bit block count
fields in the superblock (s_blocks_count_hi, s_free_blocks_count_hi),
large group descriptors (s_desc_size), extents with high 16 bits
(ee_start_hi, ei_leaf_hi), inode ACL (i_file_acl_hi). May also grow
to encompass the previously proposed BIG_BG.
