Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz db29a6b496 block: enable by default support for large devices and files on 32-bit archs
Enable by default support for large devices and files (CONFIG_LBD):

- With 1TB disks being a commodity hardware it is quite easy to hit 2TB
  limitation while building RAIDs etc. and many distros have been using
  CONFIG_LBD=y by default already (at least Fedora 10 and openSUSE 11.1).

- This should also prevent a subtle ext4 filesystem compatibility issue:
  mke2fs.ext4 defaults to creating filesystems with huge_files feature
  enabled and such filesystems cannot be later mounted read-write on
  machines with CONFIG_LBD=n (it should be quite easy to hit this issue
  when trying to use filesystem created using distro kernel on system
  running the self-build kernel, think about USB disk enclosures & co.).

While at it:

- Clarify config option help text w.r.t. mounting ext4 filesystems
  (they can be mounted with CONFIG_LBD=n but in the read-only mode).
