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.

read before we configure the card, so we can implement
/dev/cardbus*.cis. Also, do this on a per-child basis, so we now have
a different name than before. I think i'll have to fix that for some
legacy tools to keep working.
I can now do a dumpcis on my running atheros card and have it still work!
kern_unlinkat(), that expects that vn_start_write() actually fills the mp
even when the call failed.
As Tor noted, that pattern relies on the the type stability of the mount
points, as well as that suspended mount points are never freed and
V_XSLEEP is always passed to vn_start_write() when called on a freed
mount point.

rerun of the streaming cache for silicon bug workarounds.
- Announce the presence of a streaming cache on attach for
informational purposes.
- For performance reasons don't do unnecessary flushes of the
streaming cache when coherent mappings are synced.
- Fix some minor style issues.
class CPUs. In theory one could also use versions additionally
taking advantage of the prefetch cache with cheetah-class CPUs,
in my worldstone runs these either didn't provide extra speedup
(USIII+) in comparison to the existing spitfire versions or were
even slightly slower (USIIIi) though, so they aren't committed
for now.
The basic problem leading to the VIS-based copy/zero functions
being initially disabled for cheetah-class CPUs was solved by
letting cheetah_init() clear DCR_IFPOE.
with bus_dmamap_create() and not only bus_dmamem_alloc() so move
the description of this flag up accordingly in order to document
this fact. While at, it refine this description with an application
example.
- Reword the description of BUS_DMA_NOCACHE as this flag is also
implemented on sparc64.

UT_HOSTSIZE and UT_LINESIZE are too small right now. If we ever bump
UT_HOSTSIZE, we must not forget to increase UT_LINESIZE as well. If we
add a comment, we're pretty sure we increase both values at the same
time.

redundant malloc/free. Add comments about how this should really be
done. Fix an overly verbose comment about under 1MB mapping: go ahead
and set the bits, but we ignore them.
- If the flag is set and auto-select fails, assume disk is not present.
- Set disk empty flag only when the floppy controller reset is needed.
It fixes regression introduced in r1.311, which prevented it from ignoring
errors. Now fdformat(1) and dd(1) with conv=noerror option can continue
when read/write errors occur as they should.
- Do not retry disk probing as it is extremely slow and pointless.
- Move the disk probing code into a separate function.
- Do not reset disk empty flag if write-protect check fails somehow.

I have fixed the reported problems - if you still have trouble with it, please
contact me with as much detail as possible so that I can track down any other
issues as quickly as possible.
In my commit that moved uname(), setdomainname() and getdomainname() to
COMPAT_FREEBSD4, I also removed PRIV_SETDOMAINNAME, because it was
already protected by userland_sysctl(). We'd better keep the number 20
reserved, to prevent it from being used again.

pointer in a local thread. While this is unlikely to significantly
improve performance given modern compiler behavior, it makes the code
more readable and reduces diffs to the Mac OS X version of the same
code (which stores things in creds in the same way, but where the
cred for a thread is reached quite differently).
