At the risk of painting a bikeshed a lovely color of neon purple, I'm
curious about if/how these types of commits get merged upstream to
(OpenZFS|Illumos|ZFS On Linux|where ever ZFS upstream is now|I'm very
confused|is anyone else confused where upstream is?).

Who is upstream? Is work like this going to remain as a downstream
patch to ZFS? Or is FreeBSD going to work to upstream this type of
work?

I hope my curiousity doesn't offend anyone. ;)

Thanks,
