The volmode property may be set to control the visibility of ZVOL
block devices.
This allow switching ZVOL between three modes:
full - existing fully functional behaviour (default)
dev - hide partitions on ZVOL block devices
none - not exposing volumes outside ZFS
Additionally the new zvol_volmode module parameter can be used to
control the default behaviour.
This functionality can be used, for instance, on "backup" pools to
avoid cluttering /dev with unneeded zd* devices.
