Hi. I'm implementing the same functionality for FreeBSD and here are few
notes from me:

First of all, there is no VOP_SEEK(9) on FreeBSD, so I'm using just like
in OpenSolaris VOP_IOCTL(9) to pass SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE requests to the
file system.

You may want to use s/pointer/offset/ for consistency here. The same for
sys/unistd.h and sys/fcntl.h.

In OpenSolaris (as well as in my patch) _PC_MIN_HOLE_SIZE attribute for
pathconf(2) is used to determine if file system supports
SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE functionality, which you may also want to add.
