The projects/zfsd project branch is up to date.  Merging it to CURRENT
is blocked on these tasks.

1) (The biggie) We must resolve the issue with multiple geom opens.
Geom tries to prevent any two consumers from simultaneously opening
the same provider.  This is why, for example, you can't do dd
if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ada0 if your ada0 has a mounted file system.
However, ZFS internally opens spare devices multiple times.  The only
way that geom will allow that is if ZFS opens devices non-exclusively.
That means that you will lose your protection.  Fixing this correctly
requires deep changes to ZFS to remove the multiple opens.

2) Need to merge in zfsd's functional tests.  I'm currently working on
this issue as time allows.

3) It needs a manpage.

4) Various bug fixes need to be merged to the kernel and to LibZFS.
Coordinating with Illumos makes that process slow.  will_at_ is working
on it as time allows.

5) libdevctl needs to be made private

6) The sequential packet feature added to devd in the zfsd project
branch at revision r266519 must be merged to head.  It's currently
waiting for review from imp_at_ and ian_at_.

For TrueNAS, I believe that delphij_at_ merged an older version of zfsd
from the project branch.
