[OE-core] [PATCH 0/1] genext2fs: support large files and filesystems without using large amounts of memor

[Dexuan Cui]

Hi RP, Saul, Paul, Darren, Mark, Josh and joaohf and all, please comment.

Let's figure out if this big patch is accepatable or not...

With this patch, I can successfully create a 8.5GB .ext3 file with genext2fs.
The speed is slow -- I spent about 1.5 hours.

The following changes since commit 265903bdffb10c95ceaf7a892151a50b67939c71:

  procps: don't print error message with kernel 3.0+ (2012-03-28 10:16:30 +0100)
