For an implicit/legacy VLAN name such as bge32000, something would need 
to tell GLD to create the devfs node?

Today the knowledge of this name only exists in the zonecfg xml file.

Are you saying that zoneadm/zoneadmd would do a 'dladm create-vlan 
bge32000' as part of booting the zone.

That would require know which name is a vlan and which isn't. AFAIK 
zoneadm/zoneadmd doesn't have that knowledge today.
