Amusingly, we have started the gfs & .zfs port, and it has been quite the challenge. The use of nice consistent macros (like that of VTOZ) went away, and it uses direct vnode access. The ".." reference seems to be a little wrong, often goes to system root. We too had to cut out the rmdir/mkdir alias to snapshot commands, and even trickier is that we can not call "mount" from kernel. Apple do not export any of the mount APIs, has the request has to come from userland. At the moment we may leave .zfs directories out as it is still not quite correct.
