Yes, I'm basing in the bootblock code.

Yes, its not meaningful for the boot, but my point was not that the
boot code doesn't handle the info, but instead that the partition does
not contain this info, which would be very useful for a user program.

Surely the zfs pool handling tools must store this info somewhere
(probably somewhere in /etc) if the partition itself doesn't contain
it.

Yes, I meant partition start.

Anyway, I think I figured out myself, it looks like that the offsets
are relative to VDEV_LABEL_START_SIZE
