ACK, this looks good, assuming we change the non-fallocate() safezero() impl to not allocate huge chunks of memory. The 'static int track_allocation_progress' is fine as you have it - it is a useful reminder that we need to expose this functionality via the API, and we can move it as needed at that time.
