Re: ZFS committed to the FreeBSD base.

It was discussed a bit at the DevSummit in BSDCan and an
interesting
question was raised.  ZFS has its own buffer cache and tries
as best as it
can to bypass our own, taking its toll on memory and KVA.  I
don't think we
could replace our buffer cache with ARC due to the license
but it would be
nice to reduce the duplication there.
