When running the LVM2 testsuite on 32-bit kernel, there are unkillable
processes stuck in the kernel consuming 100% CPU:

This is caused by the fact that the LVM2 testsuite creates 64TB device.
The kernel uses "unsigned long" to index pages in files and block devices,
on 64TB device "unsigned long" overflows (it can address up to 16TB with
4k pages), causing the infinite loop.
On 32-bit architectures, we must limit block device size to
PAGE_SIZE*(2^32-1).
The bug with untested device size is pervasive across the whole kernel,
some drivers test that the device size fits in sector_t, but this test is
not sufficient on 32-bit architectures. This patch introduces a new
function validate_disk_capacity that tests if the disk capacity is OK for
the current kernel and modifies the drivers brd, ide-gd, dm, sd to use it.
