The crash.  Disallowing files from a ZFS filesystem would solve part of
the problem, but one could always create a lofi device on top of a ZFS
file, or a file on a UFS filesystem on top of a zvol, which would result
in the same behavior.  Since one needs PRIV_SYS_CONFIG to create a pool,
and the solution is non-trivial, it hasn't been high priority.

So the goal is to allow infinite nesting?
