One of the usefulness of zum would be to make disk/filesystem images
smaller when they contain lots of 0's. The fact is, zum, mmaping 1GB at
a time, it is pretty much useless if you don't have a whole bunch of RAM
to do what qemu-img convert -f raw $in -O raw $out would do without
risking to trigger the OOM killer.

I'd suggest to change the 1<<30 in the source code to something much
smaller.

Mike
