To clarify, this feature hasn't been integrated into illumos yet; they
want to see more testing in production environments first. Chip is
offering to test in his environment as he believes the feature will help
his performance, but he needs the proposed feature available in omnios
r151014 binary form to test (and I assume he's not in a position to
build his own)... So at this point I don't think it's really a question
of officially backporting to LTS so much as just providing a test binary
to help provide feedback for the RTI process.

Although I suppose if Chip finds the feature rocks for his needs and it
ends up getting integrated it might turn into a backport request :).
