Right, but until we have that SMF interface implemented, I need to 
document it in terms of editing cfg_cache.  Once the SMF aspect is 
implemented, the idea would be that the manpage documentation would 
simply state that these values could be directly edited via cfg_cache if 
SMF was unavailable (or something to that effect).  My hope is to make 
our documentation as useful as possible to our primary deployment 
platform while still being useful to other ones.

See section 2.2.1 of docs/image.txt; in short, this gives an 
administrator a way to setup defaults for control over image behaviour.

I'm not the person who invented the concept, so I'll rely on others to 
explain further.
