Maybe there is something better, but it seems like the simplest change
that would fix this would be something along the lines of the patch
below. This just assumes that if the filesystem type is listed as zfs
then it actually is zfs, and it adds the zfs module. With this change I
was able to build a image using "MODULES=dep" and successfully create a
crash dump with zfs on root.
