It's taken a while, but the fake boisdev and moving the zone roots to a
UFS file system enabled LU to work, without having to break the root SVM
mirror.

It looks like the new SATA framework fixes the boisdev issue, instead of
double entries for all 10 drives in the system it now reports

0x80 /pci at 0,0/pci1043,81fb at 5/disk at 0,0
0x81 /pci at 0,0/pci1043,81fb at 5/disk at 1,0
0x83 /pci at 0,0/pci1043,81fb at 5,2/disk at 0,0

I'm not sure why the third entry is there (/dev/rdsk/c3d0s0), but the
two boot drives are found.
