Given the above I think "-b" is too generic an option name, particularly 
given that SVR4 packing is not the future direction.

When I saw the case synopsis the first thing that came to mind was that 
"-b" was going to mean backup (not really sure what that would mean though).

Given that this is brand specific I think we need to make that obvious, 
maybe something like this:

# zoneadm -z myzone attach -u  -x patchbackout=IDR246802-01 -x 
patchbackout=12345608.

I also think it probably makes sense that the list of patches to be 
backed out could be take from a file eg:

# zoneadm -z myzone attach -u -x patchbackoutlist=/tmp/rmpatches

Don't take the above as actually complying with CLIP or actually fitting 
in with the zoneadm CLI they are for illustrative purposes only. 
Basically I'm saying don't use a single letter option because this is 
brand specific and the second point of patch list in a file.
