Some structures (specifically, those that are to be stored in zones) *must* start with two pointers to their own type. This is arguably a design flaw in the zone allocator. One possible fix is to add an extra argument to zinit(), zinitna() and zbootinit() to specify the offset of these pointers within the structure; another is to have the zone allocator prepend those pointers itself, so they don't need to be in the structure at all.
