Thank you, this is great news.  I had asked Andrea to try the same
thing.  Toei Rei we might have finally tracked down the metadata
corruptions you''ve been seeing.

CONFIG_LBD turns the sector_t data type from an unsigned long into a
u64.  Btrfs was using it like it was always a u64, and sometimes it was
overflowing.
