UBLK_F_SUPPORT_ZERO_COPY has a very old comment describing the initial
idea for how zero-copy would be implemented. The actual implementation
added in commit 1f6540e2aa ("ublk: zc register/unregister bvec") uses
io_uring registered buffers rather than shared memory mapping.
Remove the inaccurate remarks about mapping ublk request memory into the
ublk server's address space and requiring 4K block size. Replace them
with a description of the current zero-copy mechanism.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
