10b9d77bf1 Finally... Import the latest open-source ZFS version - (SPA) 28.
Few new things available from now on:

- Data deduplication.
- Triple parity RAIDZ (RAIDZ3).
- zfs diff.
- zpool split.
- Snapshot holds.
- zpool import -F. Allows to rewind corrupted pool to earlier
  transaction group.
- Possibility to import pool in read-only mode.

1ba4a712dd 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.

- Creation-time properties

- Regression tests for zpool(8) command.
