Porting Notes:

* Included in this patch is a tiny ISP2() cleanup in zio_init() from
Illumos 5255.

* Unlike the upstream Illumos commit this patch does not impose an
arbitrary 128K block size limit on volumes.  Volumes, like filesystems,
are limited by the zfs_max_recordsize=1M module option.

* By default the maximum record size is limited to 1M by the module
option zfs_max_recordsize.  This value may be safely increased up to
16M which is the largest block size supported by the on-disk format.
At the moment, 1M blocks clearly offer a significant performance
improvement but the benefits of going beyond this for the majority
of workloads are less clear.

* The illumos version of this patch increased DMU_MAX_ACCESS to 32M.
This was determined not to be large enough when using 16M blocks
because the zfs_make_xattrdir() function will fail (EFBIG) when
assigning a TX.  This was immediately observed under Linux because
all newly created files must have a security xattr created and
that was failing.  Therefore, we've set DMU_MAX_ACCESS to 64M.

* On 32-bit platforms a hard limit of 1M is set for blocks due
to the limited virtual address space.  We should be able to relax
this one the ABD patches are merged.

/*
* We currently support nine block sizes, from 512 bytes to 128K.
* We could go higher, but the benefits are near-zero and the cost
* of COWing a giant block to modify one byte would become excessive.
* We currently support block sizes from 512 bytes to 16MB.
* The benefits of larger blocks, and thus larger IO, need to be weighed
* against the cost of COWing a giant block to modify one byte, and the
* large latency of reading or writing a large block.
*
* Note that although blocks up to 16MB are supported, the recordsize
* property can not be set larger than zfs_max_recordsize (default 1MB).
* See the comment near zfs_max_recordsize in dsl_dataset.c for details.
*
* Note that although the LSIZE field of the blkptr_t can store sizes up
* to 32MB, the dnode's dn_datablkszsec can only store sizes up to
* 32MB - 512 bytes. Therefore, we limit SPA_MAXBLOCKSIZE to 16MB.
