o Use memset(ptr, 0, size) instead of bzero(ptr, size)
Is there a reason why uses of bzero() should be changed to memset()?
For the kernel, using bzero is fine. For the userland bzero is BSD
specific function, while memset is ISO C89.
For timing, they should ~identical.

minus an extra call and return pair, memset is a special case of bzero,
memset is defined by ISO C89 but everybody else now seems has an
implementation of bzero.
