As promised... why I'm keeping my code :)

cscope says there is no zero_user_page() so I think
you mean the same one I looked at zero_user(), which
calls the far more complicated zero_user_segments().

I did not use it for 3 reasons:

1) More generated code (but maybe gcc reduces it).

2) My btrfs_dio_done_with_out() must do (so repeat) the
flush_dcache_page which is not a noop on every arch.

3) Everywhere else in btrfs does the same as my code.
