There is a hardcoded maximum disk size that can be read or written from, currently set at 1 EiB 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 too.
