[Bug 1561553] [NEW] unable to create a ZFS pool

[Simon Déziel]

Public bug reported:

libvirt is supposed to be able to create ZFS pool but I'm unable make
use of it:

1) Create some free space to be used as the backing device
 lvcreate -n libvirt-pool -L 8G vg0
2) Import a pool definition
 virsh pool-define-as --type zfs --name zfspool --source-name libvirt-pool --source-dev /dev/vg0/libvirt-pool

The above command returns this:

 error: Failed to define pool zfspool
 error: internal error: missing backend for pool type 11 (zfs)

So unless I'm doing something wrong, it seems that the ZFS support is
non-functional.

P.S: Upstream ZFS support was added to 1.3.2 but this was cherry picked
in Ubuntu's libvirt (1.3.1) as part of LP: #1553023
