Could I ask you to perhaps include some 64k blocksize test cases that
would exercise the new codepaths?

One suggestion is that instead of just creating an conversion
function, and then doing a global search and replace, in some places
it might be better to declare an integer variable, and then assign
"rec_len = ext2fs_rec_len_from_disk(dirent->rec_len)".  For example,
that would make ext2fs_process_dir_block() more readable, where
dirent->rec_len is used no less than eight times.

Thanks, and my apologies for not having time to review the patch until
now.  At the moment things are a bit crazy since I am effectively
doing two jobs, since I am in transition between two assignments, and
me doing most of both of them at the moment.  I should have
substantially more time after the new year begins.
