I'm confused as to what this means. Grub reads a filesystem, loads a kernel
with options, and may give it an initrd. What happens from then on is none
of grub's business. The filesystem it reads from and the one the kernel
uses may be completely unrelated - this is why we have /boot filesystems.
At what point does grub "present a zfs interface for the kernel to use"?
