Description

zpool command should support creating bootable whole disk pools, implies EFI/GPT label with automatic boot partition setup. Pool management (attach, spare, replace) should be able to cope with such setup.
affected components: zpool command, libzfs, syseventd module zfs_mod.

note: with current boot and be management this functionality is not too useful in practice, but it serves the purpose of splitting otherwise huge grub2 related change into smaller parts.
