    Subject: Abandon the use of snapshots in mntfs. [PSARC/2009/352
	    FastTrack timeout 06/19/2009]

    I am sponsoring this fasttrack on behalf of Robert Harris. The
    timeout is set to 06/19/2009. Requested binding is patch. 

    ...
    4.2 Interface changes:

	1. The MNTIOC_GETDEVLIST command is modified so that the
	   calling ioctl() returns the number of mounted resources
	   represented in the supplied array, which is the same
	   as the number of visible resources mounted on the system.
	   This interface will be Uncommitted.

	2. The vfs struct acquires a new member, vfs_mntmeta, which
	   is a pointer to a new, private structure with type
	   'struct vfs_mntmeta'. The new member and the private
	   structure will constitute a Private interface.

	3. The zone struct acquires a new member, zone_vfstree,
	   which is a pointer to an avl_tree_t. The new member
	   will constitute a Private interface.

By "Private" in the last two of these, do you really mean
"Consolidation Private"?

If so, I'll add my +1 to Garrett's.
