Short exercise:
| $ whoami
| mlaier
| $ zfs list
| NAME          USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
| tank          104K   228G    19K  /tank
| tank/mlaier    18K   228G    18K  /tank/mlaier
| $ zfs allow tank/mlaier
| -------------------------------------------------------------
| Local+Descendent permissions on (tank/mlaier)
|         user mlaier create,destroy,mount,snapshot
| -------------------------------------------------------------
| $ zfs create tank/mlaier/test
| cannot mount 'tank/mlaier/test': Insufficient privileges
| filesystem successfully created, but not mounted

This is obviously due to the check in vfs_mount.c patched line 851:

	if (jailed(td->td_ucred) || usermount == 0) {

the question is, should this be tuned to allow for the finer grained zfs 
permissions to take effect or will we force usermount to use zfs allow mount?
