 The `ZoneTableSegment::create` takes a config parameter. It is currently
 ignored and it is not explained:
  * How it'll look like, what information it'll contain, etc.
  * Where it comes from. I don't think it is practical to ask users to
 write a
    config about the used segments for each zone, or something. IMO it
 should
    work just by turning the b10-memorymgr on in boss, and everything else
    should be auto-negotiated with it, or something. Things like if the
 data is
    passed to the auth (or other consumers) by a memory-mapped file, or
 shared
    memory, should be in the memorymgr configuration.

 Currently, everything that needs a zone table segment, just passes
 something like NullElement or some other dummy value. It's not clear where
 such config will appear at the place where the create is called.
