Has anyone been able to actually boot the AMD64 kernel after
r194958?

Well, then you won't be able to get a core, because by the time doadump
starts the filesystem layer is already dead. The kernel just won't be
able to save the dump to something as complicated as a 3-disk-span swap
space - it can't even dump to a gmirror-based swapspace properly, you
know ;)
And if you're using ZFS boot, you probably have ZFS built into kernel so
I'm not sure if booting without loading zfs.ko is possible as it's
already inside...
