I don't remember exactly when ZFS introduced nanosecond resulution, but
I don't think the changes being presented here for [f]pathconf() were in
the standard at that time. Normally, this would be added when the SUSv4
conformance project is added to the system, ... but I haven't heard of
any plans for that project since I left Sun. From the outside, it
appears that Sun is picking up some pieces of the standard without plans
to implement full conformance to the standard. ;-{ If that is the
case, I think it is important to be sure that these connected pieces of
the standard are all implemented as a single project.
