It's good to clean this up, but this presumes that blk_t is going to
change to a 64-bit type.  I'd much rather *add* a blk64_t, and keep
blk_t at 32 bits.  This patch series in a number of places makes the
presumption that blk_t will change size --- in particular when it
creates new interfaces that returns 64-bits through a blk_t.  Please
don't do that.

Does it mean that we'll have to duplicate all of the structures
containing fields of type blk_t (like process_block_struct,
e2fsck_struct, ext2_inode_cache, ...) and also duplicate most of
the code for the functions which use variables of type blk_t?
