Add kernel module auto-loading Historically a dynamic misc minor number was registered for the /dev/zfs device in order to prevent minor number collisions. This was fine but it prevented us from being able to use the kernel module auto-loaded which requires a known reserved value. Resolve this issue by adding a configure test to find an available misc minor number which can then be used in MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV at build time. By adding this alias the zfs kmod is added to the list of known static-nodes and the systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev service will create a /dev/zfs character device at boot time. This in turn allows us to update the 90-zfs.rules file to make it aware this is a static node. The upshot of this is that whenever a process (zpool, zfs, zed) opens the /dev/zfs the kmods will be automatic loaded. This even works for unprivileged users so there is no longer a need to manually load the modules at boot time. As an additional bonus the zed now no longer needs to start after the zfs-import.service since it will trigger the module load. In the unlikely event the minor number we selected conflicts with another out of tree unregistered minor number the code falls back to dynamically allocating it. In this case the modules again must be manually loaded. Note that due to the change in the method of registering the minor number the zimport.sh test case may incorrectly fail when the static node for the installed packages is created instead of the dynamic one. This issue will only transiently impact zimport.sh for this single commit when we transition and are mixing and matching methods.

Systemd configuration fixes * Disable zfs-import-scan.service by default. This ensures that pools will not be automatically imported unless they appear in the cache file. When this service is explicitly enabled pools will be imported with the "cachefile=none" property set. This prevents the creation of, or update to, an existing cache file. $ systemctl list-unit-files \| grep zfs zfs-import-cache.service enabled zfs-import-scan.service disabled zfs-mount.service enabled zfs-share.service enabled zfs-zed.service enabled zfs.target enabled * Change services to dynamic from static by adding an [Install] section and adding 'WantedBy' tags in favor of 'Requires' tags. This allows for easier customization of the boot behavior. * Start the zfs-import-cache.service after the root pivot so the cache file is available in the standard location. * Start the zfs-mount.service after the systemd-remount-fs.service to ensure the root fs is writeable and the ZFS filesystems can create their mount points. * Change the default behavior to only load the ZFS kernel modules in zfs-import-*.service or when blkid(8) detects a pool. Users who wish to unconditionally load the kernel modules must uncomment the list of modules in /lib/modules-load.d/zfs.conf.
