No, it doesn't use the zone allocator. But what I meant is that here, I 
had to use a malloc() for each block read. On Linux, it uses the buffer 
returned by getblk(), but on FreeBSD, I encountered lock issues with 
this same buffer. That's why I currently make a copy of it. I'm sure 
there's a better way :-)
