Yes.. this has been discussed by us as well.  In the past solaris kernel 
wasn't doing any bios calls?  Identifying/eliminating those will help 
this.  This will also allow the booting of 1T+ sized disks if I'm not 
mistaken?  Feel free to email me off list so that we can discuss how to 
make the ARC case or start to more accurately plan this.  Vladimir 
(phcoder) has an initial zfs patch for grub2 that was posted on 
zfs-discuss recently.  To test it you'll have to binary hack the kernel 
image or fix this bug..

I'll be including it in my next release, but if someone wants to 
verify/fix it...  Please do as it's there for months..
