Now I think I know what is the source of problem. After all, on
13.0-RELEASE i386 system simply loading zfs module results in system
hang up.

The steps to reproduce it are,

1. Boot with install media of 13.0-RELEASE i386
2. At the first menu of FreeBSD installer, select 'Shell'.
3. At the shell prompt, type `kldload zfs` and return key.

I confirmed hangup happens with VirtualBox, VMware Player and my bare
metal PC environement. So the problem doesn't depend on hardware.

And hangup also happens with 13-STABLE and 14-CURRENT.
