IMHO, there should be no need to put any ZFS filesystems in /etc/vfstab,
but (this is something of a digression based on discussion kicked up by
PSARC 2007/297) it's become clear to me that ZFS filesystems *should* be
mounted by mountall and mount -a rather than via a special-case
invocation of "zfs mount" at the end of the fs-local method script.
in other words: teach "mount" how to find the list of filesystems in
attached pools and mix them in to the dependency graph it builds to
mount filesystems in the right order, rather than mounting
everything-but-zfs first and then zfs later.
