Description
The planner's choice for placing new zones goes through OmicronZonePlacement, which is deterministic and distributes load as evenly as it can within the set of restrictions it has.
Currently, planner support for choosing a zpool is deterministic but does not evenly distribute load. We should either build something like OmicronZonePlacement for disks, or possibly extend OmicronZonePlacement to handle disks too.
