Alright, I've reworked this now so that if we get one of these cases
where there's a bsr that's > 4k and < 64k on a 64k kernel we'll only
advertise that it is a 4k BSR to userspace.  I think this is the best
solution since user programs are only supposed to look at sysfs to
determine how much can be mapped, and libbsr does this as well.

Please consider for 2.6.31 as a fix, thanks.
