I fixed some bugs that were reported to me:
- create_compressed_fs should do padding to 512 bytes boundary
- kernel panic in geom_ugz
and added last uncompressed block caching (which should significantly speed up
geom_ugz especially for large block sizes).

Updated tarballs are available at

Thanks for your feedback!
