Merge branch 'ashift'
This branch adds some overdue ashift improvements. * Add '-o ashift' to 'zpool add' and 'zpool attach' * Improve AF hard disk detection * Allow 'zpool import' to handle increases in ashift Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>

+dnl #
+dnl # 2.6.30 API change
+dnl #
+dnl # The bdev_physical_block_size() interface was added to provide a way
+dnl # to determine the smallest write which can be performed without a
+dnl # read-modify-write operation. From the kernel documentation:
+dnl #
+dnl # What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/physical_block_size
+dnl # Date: May 2009
+dnl # Contact: Martin K. Petersen <[email protected]>
+dnl # Description:
+dnl # This is the smallest unit the storage device can write
+dnl # without resorting to read-modify-write operation. It is
+dnl # usually the same as the logical block size but may be
+dnl # bigger. One example is SATA drives with 4KB sectors
+dnl # that expose a 512-byte logical block size to the
+dnl # operating system.
+dnl #
+dnl # Unfortunately, this interface isn't entirely reliable because
+dnl # drives are sometimes known to misreport this value.
