[dm-devel] [PATCH] 2.6: dm-zero

dm-zero target. Provides a block-device version of /dev/zero. This target was
originally written by Christophe Saout (http://www.saout.de/misc/). I have
made some adjustments for the latest Device-Mapper code in 2.6. This patch
is against Joe's 2.6.0-test10-udm1 patchset.
