AoE devices and vinum, 4.x

Hello -

I've started using AoE devices with Vinum, but
have hit a wall or two.

Vinum starts in /etc/rc before the network is
brought up.  This basically means vinum can't be
configured with the usual mechanism to use AoE
devices.

Any opinions on the best methods (set of env. variables)
for kicking vinum after AoE is brought up?  I'm
thinking something like:

aoe_iflist="fxp0"
aoe_vinum_drives="/dev/aoed0 /dev/aoed1 /dev/aoed2 /dev/aoed3"

After the network is brought up I'd:

sysctl net.aoe.iflist="$aoe_iflist"
vinum read "$aoe_vinum_drives"

Cheers,

Sam
