Those changes look pretty good to me… since the behavior is optional, I see no 
reason why we couldn't drive this into illumos as is.

I think we ultimately want to have a better solution at the sd layer to detect and report (perhaps with a greylist) this information so that end users don't have to muck with this so much. But that can be done later.

Perhaps a drive finger-printing mechanism could be used in conjunction with an Internet-based server (similar to how audio CDs are automatically identified) so that the best parameters can be used based on the drives involved? This would help avoid the problem that information provided via installation media becomes stale.
