These patches introduce safezero() to allocate chunks for a file and

Not yet ready for merge; I don't understand the configure system yet
and don't know how to test for posix_fallocate() availability.
In this case it'll be pretty easy, add to configure.in:
AC_CHECK_FUNCS([posix_fallocate()])
And then in the source code you can
#ifdef HAVE_POSIX_FALLOCATE
...
#else
...
#endif
