[illumos-Developer] Can only use "rdsk" for COMSTAR UNMAP support...

If I use the COMSTAR tools to use the block zvol device, UNMAP/DKIOCFREE
fails because spec_ioctl() fails on this check:
1266 if (vp->v_type != VCHR)
1267 return (ENOTTY);
If I use the character device (rdsk), everything works just fine.
It begs the higher-level question: Should there be an alternate DKIOCFREE
path for block devices?
Curious,
Dan
