What do you think about adding an argument to uma_zcreate that would be passed
on to uminit/fini as an additional parameter?
Perhaps (probably?) to dtor/ctor.

The idea is to provide additional context to uminit/fini.
One immediate use is more efficient compatibility code for OpenSolaris kmem_cache:
