    vkernel - Change default pre-zeroing of main memory
    
    * Do not pre-zero memory by default, because it interferes with the
      ability to feed NUMA associations down into the vkernel.
    
    * Add the -z option to force pre-zeroing of memory, which can be
      useful when doing basic benchmarking (to avoid the overhead of the
      vkernel having to do initial-pageins of its main memory, which can
      extend over a long period of time).
