Now sector_t has been switched to u64 unconditionally, do we still need such

I think you're right; I hadn't seen that change, but truncating
because of sector_t shouldn't be an issue anymore. I wondered if we
could actually have a smaller loff_t, but looks like that is 'long
long', which should always be 8 bytes as well. I might send this as a
separate patch, I don't want to drag this series on for too long.

Thanks,
