CONFIG_LBD option is for enabling large block devices support in
kernel ... If u see in the kernel code; if CONFIG_LBD is defined then
sector_t becomes 64bit field so it can go beyond the normal 32bit
sector_t field which limits device size to maximum (1ULL << 41) bytes
or { 4GB /*32-bit_limit*/ * 512 /*sector_size*/ }
