Fixed already in my rebased version of your patches:  

    http://github.com/tytso/e2fsprogs-64bit/tree/master
    git://github.com/tytso/e2fsprogs-64bit.git

I chose door #2.  Actually, I created new static functions in
lib/e2p/ls.c, named e2p_*_blocks_count().  It's in the patch:
Add-e2p-64bit-blocks-support.

Note: my patchset (which is against e2fsprogs 1.41.4 at the moment)
still has regression test failures, and I have done *zero* testing on
64-bit filesystems.  Hopefully Val can help me with that; the updated,
rebase patchset is the first step towards getting these commits merged
into e2fsprogs mainline.
