The purpose of this change is to group kernelthreads specific to a particular ZFS pool under a kernel process. There can be many dozens of threads per pool. This change improves observability of those threads. This change consists of several subchanges: 1. illumos taskq_create_proc can now pass its process parameter to taskqueue. Also, use zfsproc instead of NULL for taskq_create. Caveat: zfsproc might not be initialized yet. But in that case it is still NULL, so not worse than before. 2. illumos sys/proc.h: kthread id is stored in t_did field, not t_tid. 3. zfs: enable SPA_PROCESS on the kernel side. The change is a bit hairy as newproc() is implemented privately to spa.c. I couldn't think of a better way to populate process name than to poke inside the argument for the process routine. 4. illumos thread_create: allow assigning thread to process other than zfsproc. 5. zfs: expose spa_proc to other users, assign sync and quiesce threads to it. Pool-specific threads created using (relatively new) zthr mechanism are still assigned to the zfskern process rather than to a respective zpool-xxx process. I am going to address this a bit later.

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
