Re: Zero page



> Can't the first XIP device to attach simply allocate it?

It's getpages()'s iteration loop which redirects unallocated pages to
zero-pages.  If we allocate zero-page in device drivers, we have to
have an interface which can be retrieved from vnode or mount.
Having a well-known global name is simple, but I'm fine with both.
