[PATCH] md: remove arbitrary limit on chunk size

Browse Source 
The largest chunk size the code can support without substantial surgery is
2^30 bytes, so make that the limit instead of an arbitrary 4Meg.  Some day,
the 'chunksize' should change to a sector-shift instead of a byte-count.  Then
no limit would be needed.
