MFV v242732:
Merge the ZFS I/O deadman thread from vendor (illumos). This feature panics the system on hanging ZFS I/O, helps debugging and resumes failed service.
The panic behavior can be controlled with the loader-only tunables: vfs.zfs.deadman_enabled (enable or disable panic on stalled ZFS I/O) vfs.zfs.deadman_synctime (expiration time for stalled ZFS I/O)
By default, ZFS I/O deadman is enabled by default on amd64 and i386 excluding virtual guest machines.

Update ZFS from version 6 to 13 and bring some FreeBSD-specific changes.
This bring huge amount of changes, I'll enumerate only user-visible changes:
- Delegated Administration
Allows regular users to perform ZFS operations, like file system creation, snapshot creation, etc.
- L2ARC
Level 2 cache for ZFS - allows to use additional disks for cache. Huge performance improvements mostly for random read of mostly static content.
- slog
Allow to use additional disks for ZFS Intent Log to speed up operations like fsync(2).
- vfs.zfs.super_owner
Allows regular users to perform privileged operations on files stored on ZFS file systems owned by him. Very careful with this one.
- chflags(2)
Not all the flags are supported. This still needs work.
- ZFSBoot
Support to boot off of ZFS pool. Not finished, AFAIK.

- Snapshot properties
- New failure modes
Before if write requested failed, system paniced. Now one can select from one of three failure modes: - panic - panic on write error - wait - wait for disk to reappear - continue - serve read requests if possible, block write requests
- Refquota, refreservation properties
Just quota and reservation properties, but don't count space consumed by children file systems, clones and snapshots.
- Sparse volumes
ZVOLs that don't reserve space in the pool.
- External attributes
Compatible with extattr(2).
- NFSv4-ACLs
Not sure about the status, might not be complete yet.
