Darren,

 My requirement in this case is simple. I don't want my network
driver to have to know *anything* about zones. As Jim pointed out
there are two actions that a network driver normally performs that
affect zones:

a) Mapping a dbllk for DMA and thereby holding onto it, and hence
holding onto the cred_t.
b) Passing up packets in desballoc()ed buffers.

 I'd like a way to do both of these things without negatively
affecting zone operation.

 In the meantime I'll use Jim's suggested to code to work around
issue a) and I can provide a tunable to turn off b).

 Paul
