[OE-core] [PATCH 1/5] genext2fs: support large files and filesystems without using large amounts of memory

[Cui, Dexuan]

BTW, we can see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29071716 for what Corey, the author of the patches to genext2fs, said:
"We (MontaVista) and our customers have been using these patches in production since the time I sent them out and we haven't had any issues"

So, the quality of the patches seems pretty good.

Thanks,
-- Dexuan
