If someone wanted to scratch an itch, it would also be useful to put
things that are zeroed under a single dedicated directory, so that folks
who wanted to could mount that on a ram drive. It would also be useful
to do that for stuff that's only reset on crash (to put it on local
storage as opposed to a SAN).
