I would like to change the space map block size on FreeBSD, to improve
performance on a system with very large vdevs.  This was made possible in
illumos (exactly!) a year ago by the commit below.  Does anyone know if
there's a technical reason that this was not ported to FreeBSD?  If not, it
would be great if someone wants to pick it up, otherwise I'll try to do so
when I have time.
