  Modified files:
    sys/sys              malloc.h 
    sys/kern             kern_malloc.c 
    share/man/man9       malloc.9 
  Log:
  Introduce the M_ZERO flag to malloc(9)
  
  Instead of:
  
          foo = malloc(sizeof(foo), M_WAIT);
          bzero(foo, sizeof(foo));
  
  You can now (and please do) use:
  
          foo = malloc(sizeof(foo), M_WAIT | M_ZERO);
  
  In the future this will enable us to do idle-time pre-zeroing of
  malloc-space.
