GSoC ZFS root support



Hello, 

My name is Bruno Maximo e Melo, I'm a bachelor student in Information Systems from University of São Paulo (USP). I have almost 2 years professional experience on web development and devops. I have used FreeBSD for years, where I have built my first custom kernel. Now, I want to enter in low level programming because I like to know how things work and I want to make part of that Unix story. I'm advocating for the study of NetBSD at USP because of features like prekern, rump, etc... and more people are now interested in contributing to NetBSD in the next GSoC.

Actually I'm running NetBSD aarch64 in Qemu because I'm learning ARM assembly language and I have not chosen a Linux distro because I wanted to interact and get used to NetBSD. I learned programming in C language, and already had theoretical class of operating systems. But I'm completely newbie in OS development and never had the interested to write an OS from scratch, but to develop an existant one and make part of its community. That's why I want to take this GSoC.

I have a disorganized github at github.com/brunomaximom where I put work I did in the semester for grad school.

I'm looking for a mentor to this GSoC. I know I need to take the code from FreeBSD here https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/tree/master/stand/libsa/zfs and port it to work on NetBSD's libsa here https://github.com/NetBSD/src/tree/trunk/sys/lib/libsa.

I hope to get a feedback soon :D. Thanks for read me.
