[Bug 1553023] [NEW] [FFe] libvirt v1.3.2 -- zfs support

[Seth Arnold]

Public bug reported:

Please consider a Feature Freeze exception for libvirt upstream version
1.3.2 which enables ZFS support on Linux hosts:
https://libvirt.org/news.html

ZFS is an excellent match for virtual machine storage:
- transparent high-speed compression that improves performance
- lightweight snapshots
- lightweight clones
- checksums and self-healing to fight bitrot
- makes the most of iops on multiple drives
- zfs send | zfs receive for backups, distribution, or moving images

libvirt has support ZFS on FreeBSD for years; while the Linux support is
new most of the codebase has had extensive testing elsewhere.

libvirt 1.3.2 does bring along many other changes but most look like the
sort of bugfixes that we would need to perform eventually via SRU.

I intend to help fill out this request with the full details requested
on the FreezeExceptionProcess wiki page soon. This is mostly a
placeholder until then.

Thanks
