Want support for case-insentisive nvlist lookup
There's a similar feature on FreeBSD which can be enabled with the NV_FLAG_IGNORE_CASE flag. I suggest we use the same flag name.
Seems reasonable. Is there a consumer you have in mind for this?

Just some code I've been working on that could be simplified if I didn't have to write my own lookup routines. I haven't looked through the gate but there could be some things in there that might also benefit.
Generally, we like to avoid creating new code / features without having at least one consumer arrive at the same time. (Can be separate change sets, but they should be integrated at the same time.) This is true for illumos-gate, as true for OS/Net in Sun, and I'd like to keep the same policy generally true for illumos-core.
