devzone is one handy little app

One of the Nexenta dev's has been working on polishing a side project that started out being for Nexenta, but he was kind enough to get it running on our platform..

So what's so cool about a devzone?  Well.. it's a mix between a global zone and a regular zone, but intended especially for those working in a quick-get-the-job done sense.  For example a regular user can grab a new zone using devzone_create, do what he/she needs to do, (package, fix a bug.. etc) and once finished release the zone with devzone_free. The only overhead is the difference between the master image.  It's already proved to be very beneficial to fixing and reproducing several bugs and so.. Wanted to say a big thanks.

(I'll probably work on OpenSolaris with little/no changes, but this hasn't been confirmed)
