From: Fred Isaman <iisaman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This needs to be changed, but will require a major rewrite
of the block layout's IO code. Including it here so I can
get some current code into the tree.
To deal with multipage blocks, the block driver sometimes needs to
write pages of zeros past the EOF without advancing the eof to the
written page. This gives a minimal infrastructure to allow that to happen.
