I don't think we need separate zero-aio driver. What is the actual difference?

Probably zero-co is enough, and we can call it just zero. And then, maybe add null driver (same as null-co, but without read_zeroes option) and deprecate null-co and null-aio drivers. Thus we'll get two clean well defined things: null and zero drivers..

Sounds good to me, I'll just call it zero:// for this patch and leave the null convergence and deprecation business for another patch.
