=== V3:
* Use BUFSIZ (which is 8192 on Linux systems) for the max argument
   length as Ted suggested.

* Use ext2fs_get_memzero() and move it out of the while loop to get a
   better performance as Darrick suggested.

=== V2:
* Use 64K for the IO_BUFSIZE and use malloc() to allocate the memory for
   the buffer respect to Darrick's comments.

* Use calloc() and memcmp() to check the sparse block as Darrick
   suggested.

* Adjust the frame and remove a few un-needed code as Darrick
   suggested.

=== V1:
* There are two patches, one is used for fixing the max length of the
   argument, the other one is for sparsing copy when src is a sparse
   file.

* BTW., we are trying to use the debugfs to create an ext2/ext3/ext4
   image based on a given directory or file, which is similar to genext2fs,
   please vist here for the script you are interested in it:

   https://gist.github.com/robertlinux/6034499

   It is an external shell script at the moment, the performance is not good,
   so we are going to:
   - Integrate this function into mke2fs in C language.
   - Add a [-d <directory>] option to specify the initial directory in mke2fs

   I'm not sure whether such a patch is acceptable or not, please feel free to
   give your comments.
