Create a seperate ZFS enabled loader.

This adds zfsloader which will be called by zfsboot/gptzfsboot code rather
than the tradional loader.  This eliminates the need to set the
LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT variable in order to get a ZFS enabled loader.

Note however, that you must reinstall your bootcode (zfsboot/gptzfsboot)
in order for the boot process to use the new loader.

New installations will no longer be required to build a ZFS enabled
loader for a working ZFS boot system.  Installing zfsboot/gptzfsboot is
sufficient for acknowledging the use of CDDL code and therefore the ZFS
enabled loader.

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.

	Submitted by:	dfr

- 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.

This uses the common U-Boot support lib (sys/boot/uboot, already used on
FreeBSD/powerpc), and assumes the underlying firmware has the modern API for
stand-alone apps enabled in the config (CONFIG_API).

Only netbooting is supported at the moment.

<id>urn:sha1:0463b4a2fbc8754a3dc9cb08d8655dc475f7a70d</id>
<content type='text'>
1. Make libefi portable by removing ia64 specific code and build
   it on i386 and amd64 by default to prevent regressions. These
   changes include fixes and improvements over previous code to
   establish or improve APIs where none existed or when the amount
   of kluging was unacceptably high.
2. Increase the amount of sharing between the efi and ski loaders
   to improve maintainability of the loaders and simplify making
   changes to the loader-kernel handshaking in the future.

The version of the efi and ski loaders are now both changed to 1.2
as user visible improvements and changes have been made.
