If loaders had the version and patch level hardcoded into them it during 
the build like how that information is hardcoded into freebsd-version, 
would that be a reproducible build?  If so, can EFI loaders with ZFS 
support also have the OpenZFS version?  For example:

FreeBSD/amd64 EFI loader, Revision 1.1, 13.5-RELEASE, OpenZFS-2.1.15

Those two version numbers would be immensely helpful when moving disks 
or verifying upgrades.
