We have the TODO item:

* Make sure all block numbers are unsigned to increase maximum table size

I did some research on this and generated the following patch. I didn't
find much in the way of problems except two vacuum.c fields that should
probably be BlockNumber. freespace.c also has a numPages field in
FSMRelation that is int. Should that be BlockNumber?

I am holding the patch until I get some feedback.
