Oh hell! I actually didn't add KVM into the platform.xml files. /dev/dld *is*
in the zones, if you use exclusive-stack (and I don't know a good reason NOT to
these days...).
So your script still needs to add /dev/kvm, until I patch illumos-omnios with
/dev/kvm in the appropriate platform.xml files.
