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.
Submitted by: trasz
- Creation-time properties
- Regression tests for zpool(8) command.

Add security.jail.mount_allowed sysctl, which allows to mount and unmount jail-friendly file systems from within a jail. Precisely it grants PRIV_VFS_MOUNT, PRIV_VFS_UNMOUNT and PRIV_VFS_MOUNT_NONUSER privileges for a jailed super-user. It is turned off by default.
A jail-friendly file system is a file system which driver registers itself with VFCF_JAIL flag via VFS_SET(9) API. The lsvfs(1) command can be used to see which file systems are jail-friendly ones.
There currently no jail-friendly file systems, ZFS will be the first one. In the future we may consider marking file systems like nullfs as jail-friendly.

- Introduce a new struct xvfsconf, the userland version of struct vfsconf. - Make getvfsbyname() take a struct xvfsconf *. - Convert several consumers of getvfsbyname() to use struct xvfsconf. - Correct the getvfsbyname.3 manpage. - Create a new vfs.conflist sysctl to dump all the struct xvfsconf in the kernel, and rewrite getvfsbyname() to use this instead of the weird existing API. - Convert some {set,get,end}vfsent() consumers to use the new vfs.conflist sysctl. - Convert a vfsload() call in nfsiod.c to kldload() and remove the useless vfsisloadable() and endvfsent() calls. - Add a warning printf() in vfs_sysctl() to tell people they are using an old userland.
After these changes, it's possible to modify struct vfsconf without breaking the binary compatibility. Please note that these changes don't break this compatibility either.
When bp will have updated mount_smbfs(8) with the patch I sent him, there will be no more consumers of the {set,get,end}vfsent(), vfsisloadable() and vfsload() API, and I will promptly delete it.

Started getting rid of the compatibility cruft for the Lite1 mount() and the pre-Lite2 vfsconf interfaces.
For lsvfs, use the new interface for getvfsbyname(), and use the old interface for getvfsent() explicitly instead of depending on macro hacks in <sys/mount.h>. This is an intermediate step.

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!) avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been insane otherwise.
