Currently we can pass information to the kernel as properties listed on kernel command line, specified as:
-B name=value,name=value,...
Obviously this method is limited, and the more generic mechanism is needed, as the loader does have environment space, it will be reasonable to export the environment as virtual module, thus making the information available to the OS.
To make such export usable, we need to make sure the important data is present at the time of the export, so this feature will make sure the zfs-bootfs related properties are present in loader environment.
