Matthew Ahrens d586964141 Illumos #3641 compressed block histograms with zdb
This patch is a zdb extension of the '-b' option, producing a histogram
of the physical compressed block sizes per DMU object type on disk. The
'-bbbb' option to zdb will uncover this new feature; here's an example
usage on a new pool and snippet of the output it generates:

    # zpool create tank /dev/vd{b,c,d}
    # dd bs=1k  if=/dev/urandom of=/tank/1kfile  count=1
    # dd bs=3k  if=/dev/urandom of=/tank/3kfile  count=1
    # dd bs=64k if=/dev/urandom of=/tank/64kfile count=1
    # zdb -bbbb tank
    ...

                              2:      1 *
                              3:      0
                              4:      0

The blocks are also broken down by their indirection level. Expanding on
the above example:

    # zfs set recordsize=1k tank
    # dd bs=1k if=/dev/urandom of=/tank/2x1kfile count=2
    # zdb -bbbb tank
    ...

There's now a single 1K L1 block which is the indirect block needed for
the '2x1kfile' file just created, as well as two more 1K L0 blocks from
the same file.

This can be used to get a distribution of the block sizes used within
the pool, on a per object type basis.
