Summary: Physical RDM disks larger than 2TB not recognized

Initial Comment:
On ESXi 5 which supports physical RDMs larger then 2TB. Occurs on both LSI Logic SAS and LSI Logic Parallel SCSI controllers. Kernel reports "unsupportable block size" followed by either a seemingly random number, or 0, number is different each time, when access to the disk is attempted.
