This is very cool! What I would actually like to do if possible is to
make /boot/gptboot handle both UFS and ZFS (it can key off the UUIDs) so we
only need a single bootstrap for GPT for both filesystems. We have a
relatively large amount of room for gptboot (we could easily do 128k if
needbe) and I'd like to take advantage of that to make the user experience
simpler.
