In zfs loader zfs device name format now is "zfs:pool/fs",
fully qualified file path is "zfs:pool/fs:/path/to/file"
loader allows accessing files from various pools and filesystems as well
as changing currdev to a different pool/filesystem.
zfsboot accepts kernel/loader name in a format pool:fs:path/to/file or,
as before, pool:path/to/file; in the latter case a default filesystem
is used (pool root or bootfs). zfsboot passes guids of the selected
pool and dataset to zfsloader to be used as its defaults.
zfs support should be architecture independent and is provided
in a separate library, but architectures wishing to use this zfs support
still have to provide some glue code and their devdesc should be
compatible with zfs_devdesc.
arch_zfs_probe method is used to discover all disk devices that may
be part of ZFS pool(s).
libi386 unconditionally includes zfs support, but some zfs-specific
functions are stubbed out as weak symbols. The strong definitions
are provided in libzfsboot.
This change mean that the size of i386_devspec becomes larger
to match zfs_devspec.
Backward-compatibility shims are provided for recently added sparc64
zfs boot support. Currently that architecture still works the old
way and does not support the new features.
TODO:
- clear up pool root filesystem vs pool bootfs filesystem distinction
- update sparc64 support
- set vfs.root.mountfrom based on currdev (for zfs)
Mid-future TODO:
- loader sub-menu for selecting alternative boot environment
Distant future TODO:
- support accessing snapshots, using a snapshot as readonly root

physical block size declared in bp may not always be what we want.
For example in case of gang block header physical block size declared
in bp is much larger than SPA_GANGBLOCKSIZE (512 bytes) and checksum
calculation failed. This bug could lead to accessing unallocated
memory and resets/failures during boot.

- zfs diff.
- zpool split.
- Snapshot holds.

- Teach gptboot and gptzfsboot about new files. I haven't touched the
rest, but there is still a lot of code duplication to be removed.
- Implement full GPT support. Currently we just read primary header and
partition table and don't care about checksums, etc. After this change we
verify checksums of primary header and primary partition table and if
there is a problem we fall back to backup header and backup partition
table.
- Clean up most messages to use prefix of boot program, so in case of an
error we know where the error comes from, eg.:
gptboot: unable to read primary GPT header
- If we can't boot, print boot prompt only once and not every five
seconds.
- Honour newly added GPT attributes:
bootme - this is bootable partition
bootonce - try to boot from this partition only once
bootfailed - we failed to boot from this partition
- Change boot order of gptboot to the following:
1. Try to boot from all the partitions that have both 'bootme'
and 'bootonce' attributes one by one.
2. Try to boot from all the partitions that have only 'bootme'
attribute one by one.
3. If there are no partitions with 'bootme' attribute, boot from
the first UFS partition.
- The 'bootonce' functionality is implemented in the following way:
1. Walk through all the partitions and when 'bootonce'
attribute is found without 'bootme' attribute, remove
'bootonce' attribute and set 'bootfailed' attribute.
'bootonce' attribute alone means that we tried to boot from
this partition, but boot failed after leaving gptboot and
machine was restarted.
2. Find partition with both 'bootme' and 'bootonce' attributes.
3. Remove 'bootme' attribute.
4. Try to execute /boot/loader or /boot/kernel/kernel from that
partition. If succeeded we stop here.
5. If execution failed, remove 'bootonce' and set 'bootfailed'.
6. Go to 2.
If whole boot succeeded there is new /etc/rc.d/gptboot script coming
that will log all partitions that we failed to boot from (the ones with
'bootfailed' attribute) and will remove this attribute. It will also
find partition with 'bootonce' attribute - this is the partition we
booted from successfully. The script will log success and remove the
attribute.
All the GPT updates we do here goes to both primary and backup GPT if
they are valid. We don't touch headers or partition tables when
checksum doesn't match.

Before the change it wasn't possible and the following error was printed:
ZFS: can only boot from disk, mirror or raidz vdevs
Now if the original vdev (the one we are replacing) is still present we will
read from it, but if it is not present we won't read from the new vdev, as it
might not have enough valid data yet.

safely allocate a heap region above 1MB. This enables {gpt,}zfsboot()
to allocate much larger buffers than before.
- Use a larger buffer (1MB instead of 128K) for temporary ZFS buffers. This

- Teach it to read gang blocks. (essentially untested)
If you see "ZFS: gang block detected!", please let
me know, so we can either remove the printf if it
works, or fix it if it doesn't.
- If multiple partitions exist on a disk, probe them all.
We also need to reset dsk->start to 0 to read the right
sector here.
- With GPT, we can have 128 partitions.
- If the bootfs property has ever been set on a pool
it seems that it never goes away. zpool won't allow
you to add to the pool with the bootfs property set.
However, if you clear the property back to default
we end up getting 0 for the object number and read
a bogus block pointer and fail to boot.
- Fix some error printfs. The printf in the loader is
only capable of c,s and u formats.

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.

- 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
