zpool import vs zvol snapshots

Just want to share a minor annoyance.
Because zvol snapshot devfs entries are created in the same subdirectory as the
zvol entries, then zpool import might prefer a snapshot device over a zvol
device, which then would fail.
This is, of course, a problem only if you use pools on top of zvols (as I do for
hacking purposes).
