[PATCH v2] disk: Move hardcoded max disk size literal to a GRUB_DISK_MAX


From: Glenn Washburn
Subject: [PATCH v2] disk: Move hardcoded max disk size literal to a GRUB_DISK_MAX_SECTORS in disk.h
Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2020 23:16:19 -0600

There is a hardcoded maximum disk size that can be read or written from,
currently set at 1EiB in grub_disk_adjust_range. Move the literal into a
macro in disk.h, so our assumptions are more visible. This hard coded limit
does not prevent using larger disks, just grub won't read/write past the
limit. The comment accompanying this restriction didn't quite make sense to
me, so its been modified.
