  Added files:
    sys/geom/zero        g_zero.c 
    sys/modules/geom/geom_zero Makefile 
  Log:
  Add a very simple and small GEOM class - ZERO.
  It creates very huge provider (41PB) /dev/gzero.
  On BIO_READ request it zero-fills bio_data and on BIO_WRITE it does nothing.
  You can also set kern.geom.zero.clear sysctl to 0 to do nothing even for
  BIO_READ.
  
  I'm using it for performance testing where it is very helpful.
