Hi Pallavi.
Bug 4589 looks fine.
Bug 3947: The description isn't quite right. Please change the first
bullet as follows:
. A new sub-directory of the ZFS file system is specified as a build
area, but the mountpoint is specified instead of the zpool.
The rest of the writeup looks fine.
Bug 4528 ended up getting fixed, so you can pull it from the release
notes. (My apologies for not notifying you earlier.)
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Jack
