Seems to be something people want to do quite a lot and don't know about.
I've seen places where someone allocates a buffer and clears it just to use as
a source of zeros.  There's at least one place in cifs, for example.  I know
about it from wrangling arch code, but most people working on Linux haven't
done that.
