It seems to me that if the plan for dld is to have a non-STREAMS control 
device, then we should consider using that approach.  On the other hand, 
if it will add risk to UV, then I'm fine with your implementing agetf() 
for the "door set" operation for now with the understanding that it may 
be a short-lived implementation detail.

It wouldn't, since the filesystem namespaces are disjoint between zones.
