I noticed that chipset_enable.c has #define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE but it does not perform any open/seek, whereas other files (especially physmap.c) have no indication of large file support, yet they do use open/seek. Looking at the code history this seems to be an accident.
Yes it should be moved to physmap.c
What's the correct way to get large file support, and do we need it at all? Image files will probably stay smaller than 16 MB, so I see no real problems there, but MSR support and physmap support may need this.
AFAICT it's not about the images, but I think it could be helpful when mmapping areas of /dev/mem.
