== Motivation and Context
The new vdev ashift optimization prevents the removal of devices when
a zfs configuration is comprised of disks which have different logical
and physical block sizes. This is caused because we set 'spa_min_ashift'
in vdev_open and then later call 'vdev_ashift_optimize'. This would
result in an inconsistency between spa's ashift calculations and that
of the top-level vdev.
In addition, the optimization logical ignores the overridden ashift
value that would be provided by '-o ashift=<val>'.
== Description
This change reworks the vdev ashift optimization so that it's only
set the first time the device is configured. It still allows the
physical and logical ahsift values to be set every time the device
is opened but those values are only consulted on first open.

External-Issue: DLPX-71831
Closes#10932
Many modern devices use physical allocation units that are much
larger than the minimum logical allocation size accessible by
external commands. Two prevalent examples of this are 512e disk
drives (512b logical sector, 4K physical sector) and flash devices
(512b logical sector, 4K or larger allocation block size, and 128k
or larger erase block size). Operations that modify less than the
physical sector size result in a costly read-modify-write or garbage
collection sequence on these devices.
Simply exporting the true physical sector of the device to ZFS would
yield optimal performance, but has two serious drawbacks:
1. Existing pools created with devices that have different logical
and physical block sizes, but were configured to use the logical
block size (e.g. because the OS version used for pool construction
reported the logical block size instead of the physical block
size) will suddenly find that the vdev allocation size has
increased. This can be easily tolerated for active members of
the array, but ZFS would prevent replacement of a vdev with
another identical device because it now appears that the smaller
allocation size required by the pool is not supported by the new
device.
2. The device's physical block size may be too large to be supported
by ZFS. The optimal allocation size for the vdev may be quite
large. For example, a RAID controller may export a vdev that
requires read-modify-write cycles unless accessed using 64k
aligned/sized requests. ZFS currently has an 8k minimum block
size limit.
Reporting both the logical and physical allocation sizes for vdevs
solves these problems. A device may be used so long as the logical
block size is compatible with the configuration. By comparing the
logical and physical block sizes, new configurations can be optimized
and administrators can be notified of any existing pools that are
sub-optimal.

Add the FreeBSD platform code to the OpenZFS repository. As of this
commit the source can be compiled and tested on FreeBSD 11 and 12.
Subsequent commits are now required to compile on FreeBSD and Linux.
Additionally, they must pass the ZFS Test Suite on FreeBSD which is
being run by the CI. As of this commit 1230 tests pass on FreeBSD
and there are no unexpected failures.
