Re: [CFT] ZFS v15 patch (version 3)

We decided not to go with v16 - the feature difference for FreeBSD
between v15 and v16 is zero.
(v16 = Common Multiprotocol SCSI Target (COMSTAR) for ISCSI export of
ZVOLS - we don't do ISCSI export (yet))//

Of course v16 pools cannot be downgraded. But I provided the patch for
testing only, not for production :-)
You can consider the latest patch (v15 v3) to be more in direction
production - it is much more complete and very closely follows Solaris 10.
If someone strictly needs v16 (maybe because upgrading a pool) it is
just a small patch to be added, I can provide it if requested.

The python port (the one updated with v15-3) does install a pyzfs.py
with a correct header, see the Makefile:
http://people.freebsd.org/~mm/patches/zfs/v15/sysutils_py-zfs.tar.gz

I will commit the python port to the ports tree right after it gets
tagged, we are still having a discussion about it's versioning (maybe
starting from 1.0?)

The pythonized functions are: zfs allow/unallow (don't work without
python), userspace/groupspace (limited functionality without python)

What is going to happen, v15 goes to head next week with a 2-month MFC
period.
I will provide patches for stable/8 and 8.1-release.
