Description :
We are currently building the linux code with XFS_BIG_FILES
set to 1. There are a couple of problems with this.

1. The way we are doing it:

#ifndef XFS_BIG_FILES
#if _MIPS_SIM == _ABI64
#define XFS_BIG_FILES           1
#else
#define XFS_BIG_FILES           0
#endif
#endif

We are using the MIPS ABI definition to control things!

2. It is controlling the definition of XFS_MAX_FILE_OFFSET
and setting it to ((1ULL<<63)-1ULL))

The maximum file offset we can support in Linux is actually
((1ULL<<43)-1ULL)) due to some size restrictions in the page
cache.
