sysevent svc missing in zones

[chrol]

In NCP2 RC1 zones do not have sysevent svc which A LOT of services depend upon.

E.g. apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker hangs in postinst script because invoke-rc.d issues a svcadm enable -st ...apache2...

Manual fix:
add "[ `zonename` = global ] || sleep 3600 & exit 0" after after ". /lib/svc/share/smf_include.sh" in /lib/svc/method/svc-syseventd, do a dpkg-reconfigure sunwcsd and import the sysevent.xml again with "svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/system/sysevent.xml"

Output from svcs -vx:
svcs -xv

This bug is present in NCP2 Gold; the proposed fix works.

Important bug and a quick fix. Dev team should consider implementing it ASAP.
