Pawel Jakub Dawidek 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.

	Submitted by:	trasz

- Creation-time properties

- Regression tests for zpool(8) command.

$FreeBSD$
This directory contains various files derived from CDDL sources that
are used by the ZFS bootstrap:
fletcher.c checksum support
sha256.c checksum support
lzjb.c compression support
zfssubr.c mostly checksum and compression support
zfsimpl.h mostly describing the physical layout
The files fletcher.c, lzjb.c and sha256.c are largely identical to the
ZFS base code (with write support removed) and could be shared but
that might complicate future imports from OpenSolaris.
