Xin LI ef17620fc8 MFV r245512: 
* Illumos zfs issue #3035 [1] LZ4 compression support in ZFS.

LZ4 is a new high-speed BSD-licensed compression algorithm created
by Yann Collet that delivers very high compression and decompression
performance compared to lzjb (>50% faster on compression, >80% faster
on decompression and around 3x faster on compression of incompressible
data), while giving better compression ratio [1].

This version of LZ4 corresponds to upstream's [2] revision 85.

Please note that for obvious reasons this is not backward read
compatible.  This means once a pool have LZ4 compressed data, these
data can no longer be read by older ZFS implementations.

Local changes:

 - On-stack hash table disabled and using kernel slab allocator
   instead, at this time.  This requires larger kernel thread stack
   for zio workers.  This may change in the future should we adjusted
   the zio workers' thread stack size.
 - likely and unlikely will be undefined if they are already defined,
   this is required for i386 XEN build.
 - Removed De Bruijn sequence based __builtin_ctz family of builtins
   in favor of the latter.  Both GCC and clang supports these builtins.
 - Changed the way the LZ4 code detects endianness.
 - Manual pages modifications to mention the feature based on Illumos
   counterpart.
 - Boot loader changes to make it support LZ4 decompression.

This directory contains various files derived from CDDL sources that
are used by the ZFS bootstrap:

    fletcher.c			checksum support
    sha256.c			checksum support
    lz4.c			compression support
    lzjb.c			compression support
    zfssubr.c			checksum, compression and raidz support
    zfsimpl.h			mostly describing the physical layout

The files fletcher.c, lzjb.c and sha256.c are largely identical to the
ZFS base code (with write support removed) and could be shared but
that might complicate future imports from OpenSolaris.
