The random(4) support for the VIA hardware random number |
| 5 |

generator (`PADLOCK') is no longer enabled unconditionally. |
| 6 |

Add the PADLOCK_RNG option in the custom kernel config if |
| 7 |

needed. The GENERIC kernels on i386 and amd64 do include the |

option, so the change only affects the custom kernel |

A new version of ZFS (pool version 5000) has been merged. |
| 12 |
> |
Starting with this version the old system of ZFS pool versioning |
| 13 |
> |
is superseded by "feature flags". This concept enables forward |
| 14 |
> |
compatibility against certain future changes in functionality of ZFS |
| 15 |
> |
pools. The first two read-only compatible "feature flags" for ZFS |
| 16 |
> |
pools are "com.delphix:async_destroy" and "com.delphix:empty_bpobj". |
| 17 |
> |
For more information read the new zpool-features(7) manual page. |
| 18 |

Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information |

on upgrading boot ZFS pools. |

Import the zio nop-write improvement from Illumos. To reduce I/O, |

nop-write omits overwriting data if the checksum (cryptographically |

It also saves space if snapshots are in use. |
