The code in zfs_ioctl_compat.c just completely misses the copyin()/
copyout() dance. The following patch should fix this, but is compile-
tested only so far:
http://people.freebsd.org/~marius/zfs_ioctl_compat.c.diff
Which still is to be used together with:
http://people.freebsd.org/~marius/sunddi.h.diff

I'm puzzled as to why these bugs don't cause havoc on x86 ...
