Hi,

When using mkefs with -d to create a file system image from a pre-constructed
root filesystem directory, any extended attributes set are not copied into the
filesystem.

This is a problem when the file system needs them, for example it uses SELinux.
Following is a patch to copy any extended attributes to the target file system
in populate_fs().

Regards,
Ross
