Well, but it's obvious that zfs_probe_dev would be attempting to do some unneeded stuff (trying to treat partitions as disks) for that case. To me this is a clear indication zfs_probe_dev is not optimal for arch-independent implementation. So I still think that arch_zfs_probe should decide what disks and partitions to probe, and zfs_probe_dev should only probe what it's given and not try to be any smarter.
