      Pull new zonefs file system from Damien Le Moal:
       "Zonefs is a very simple file system exposing each zone of a zoned
        block device as a file.
      
        Unlike a regular file system with native zoned block device support
        (e.g. f2fs or the on-going btrfs effort), zonefs does not hide the
        sequential write constraint of zoned block devices to the user. As a
        result, zonefs is not a POSIX compliant file system. Its goal is to
        simplify the implementation of zoned block devices support in
        applications by replacing raw block device file accesses with a richer
        file based API, avoiding relying on direct block device file ioctls
        which may be more obscure to developers.
      
        One example of this approach is the implementation of LSM
        (log-structured merge) tree structures (such as used in RocksDB and
        LevelDB) on zoned block devices by allowing SSTables to be stored in a
        zone file similarly to a regular file system rath...
