I understand the problem here and am happy to help talk someone through
what needs to be done to fix this in the core OS. Unfortunately it just
takes time and I have had to prioritize other work first. It requires
adding a bit of plumbing up through the stack and exposing something new
in dlpi.

If someone would like to do it ahead of me getting cycles, I'm happy to
talk them through privately what needs to be done.
