When HAL was integrated into ON, an implementation of the policykit API as a
wrapper around RBAC was included, as you can see in:
https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/tree/master/usr/src/lib/policykit

Unfortunately, upstream killed off policykit a few years back in favor of
their new polkit API: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polkit
