Provide an updated kernel userland (i.e. Illumos-gate, rev: 19e11862653b or higher).

You can also</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">just dump the updated packages in a IPS repo for testing and review.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">You don't necessarily have to 'make world' right off the cuff.
