I don't understand the need for this change and as the author of dumpadm, I object to what is proposed here.
We made a very deliberate design decision when implementing dumpadm that the objective of having an enterprise OS with crash dumps enabled by default is that if you want to deconfigure a dedicated dump device, then the way you do that is by setting the dump device back to swap.
We do not want any windows of time where there is no dump device configured, which is why we considered this during the original project and specifically did not do it. If someone has a zvol dedicated dump device, set -d swap to deconfigure it.
