21-zerod2.patch

Here is a patch that implements 'ZeroD', a simple kernel thread that uses up CPU idle time to keep a pool of pre-zeroed pages around. Almost anything that doesnt burn 100% CPU time all the time should benefit from this.
the patch is against a clean 2.1.20. Comments, ideas, flames welcome.
