Inter-platform coordination

Ideas for projects that would help coordinate changes between platforms:

Mechanism for pull changes from one place to another
- Make it easier to build, test, code review, and integrate ZFS changes into illumos
Cross-Platform Test Suite
- One sourcebase rather than porting STF to every platform?
Userland ZFS
- we already have ztest / libzpool
- want to expand this to also be able to test more of zfs in userland
- want to be able to run /sbin/zfs, /sbin/zpool against userland implementation
- want to be able to run most of testrunner (and/or STF) test suite against userland implementation
ZFS Version Feature Flags
- Import ZFSOnLinux sa=xattr into Illumos

device removal
resumable send/receive
- work in progress at Delphix
Storage of small files in dnode
- work in progress at Delphix
Reflink[1] support
Unified ashift handling [2]
Collapsible ZAP objects (e.g. fatzip -> microzap downgrades)
Raidz Hybrid Allocator (preferably compatible with pool version 29 for Solaris 10u11 compatibility)
