Speed up initial /rw setup

Browse Source 
On first VM's boot, setup-rwdev.sh script create filesystem on
/dev/xvdb. But it does so only after checking if /dev/xvdb is really
empty, by comparing it to /dev/zero. Speed up reads from /dev/zero bu
using larger blocks (default of head - 8k, instead of explicit 512).
This speed up the check over 5 times.
