It seems as though I can set ACLs on an iSCSI target that I've exported
via ZFS's shareiscsi property, but that that modification doesn't persist.
That's a bug: either we shouldn't allow you to set the property or we should
persist it properly.

Jim, is it safe to assume that you agree that this is a bug?
