This bug was rendered moot via 6528732 in build snv_68 (and s10_u5). We now store physical devices paths with the vnodes, so even though the SATA framework doesn't correctly support open by devid in early boot, we can fallback to the device path just fine. ZFS root works great on thumper, which uses the marvell SATA driver.
