Description 
OpenSolaris uses lofi compression extensively in order to compress file systems on the LiveCD. As space on the LiveCD becomes more scarce, better compression scheme than the one supported by lofi currently (gzip) is needed. LZMA fits the bill in this regard.

It is thus requested to enable lofi/lofiadm to support LZMA compression.
