[Nbd] Proposal to merge WRITE_ZEROES extension into master
I propose we merge the WRITE_ZEROES extension into master. This
effectively promotes the extension to mainline support.
Factors in favour:
* WRITE_ZEROES has been stable since April.
* The branch includes a reference implementation
* Other implementations (gonbdserver and I believe Qemu) use
it or at least have implementations
* Uncontroversial, minimally impacting
* Reduction in the number of branches
Factors against:
* No kernel implementation to my knowledge, but I don't
think that's a killer
Wouter and anyone else - any objections / views?
