Is already supported, for may years (otherwise
disks with a capacity >= 128GB could not be
used with Solaris) ...

I think that - as a start - you have to eliminate the use
of the (signed 32-bit long on 32-bit kernel) daddr_t data
type in the kernel, and switch everything to 64 bit
diskaddr_t, and fix all device drivers that are currently
using daddr_t (including getting 3rd party device drivers
fixed).
