Ok, is it better if I use "git format-patch" and send them on the list?

I just assumed that I, new to the use of u-boot, should not tinker with 
core structs, and core API functionality. I merely wish to mention the 
issue in case it has already been addressed by the gurus.

It could very well be that u-boot developers don't want to go larger. 
(presumably, majority of u-boot devices aren't booting from > 2TB devices..)

Or, it has already been discussed and I just missed it.
