- *
- *		This function is called to register a directory (or
- *		file system) as being inherited from the global zone
- *		into the non-global zone being operated on.  The
- *		inherited directory must be specified relative to the
- *		root file system ("/").  For example, if "/usr" is
- *		inherited, then the path specified would be "/usr".
- *
- *		Any path subsequently checked for being present in a
- *		directory inherited read-only from the global zone:
- *
- *		-- will NOT have $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT prepended to it
- *		-- if $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT is set and $BASEDIR is not set.
- *		-- WILL have $BASEDIR prepended to it (if set).
- *		-- $BASEDIR always has $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT included in it.
- *		-- For example, if $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT is set to /a, and
- *		-- the base install directory is set to "/opt", then the
- *		-- $BASEDIR variable will be set to "/a/opt".
- *
- *		Any path that is checked for being present in an inherited
- *		directory will be specified relative to the root file system
- *		of the non-global zone in which the path is located.
- *
- *		When a path to update is checked for being present in
- *		an inherited directory, $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT is stripped
- *		off the path before it is checked.
- *
- *		If the non-global zone is not running, the scratch zone
- *		is used to access the non-global zone.  In this case,
- *		$PKG_INSTALL_ROOT will be set to "/a" and both the
- *		non-global zone's root file system and all inherited
- *		directories will be mounted on "/a". When a path is checked
- *		for being inherited, it will have $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT stripped
- *		from the beginning, so any inherited directories must be
- *		specified relative to "/" and not $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT.
- *
- *		If the non-global zone is running, the non-global zone
- *		is used directly. In this case, $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT will
- *		be set to "/" and both the non-global zone's root file
- *		system and all inherited directories will be mounted on
- *		"/". $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT is set to "/" so the path is unchanged
- *		before being checked against the list of inherited directories.
