initialized. Also destroy /dev/zfs before doing other deinitializations.
- Initialization through taskq is no longer needed and there is a race
where one of the zpool/zfs command loads zfs.ko and tries to do some work
immediately, but /dev/zfs is not there yet.

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.

initialization is complete. This fixes some root-on-ZFS
configurations.

- Move FreeBSD-specific code to zfs_freebsd_*() functions in zfs_vnops.c
and keep original functions as similar to vendor's code as possible.
- Add various includes back, now that we have them.
unload instead of returning EBUSY. This check tells if there are mounted
ZFS file systems or not. We can't unload if there are mounted file systems.

ZFS file system was ported from OpenSolaris operating system. The code in under
CDDL license.
I'd like to thank all SUN developers that created this great piece of software.
