[pca] --stop option in pca

Does anyone know of an easy way to stop before a patch?  I ask as the
pca I have (the one just before today's new release) behaves where it
applies the patch and then stops.

I am asking as I want to handle situations where I need to stop before a
patch.  For example, the Sol10 kernel patches require zones be in a
halted state.  I want to have zones up in single user mode while I apply
patches as they install quicker that way.  The problem is, when a kernel
patch is seen it fails if the zones are up.  Pca continues on applying
patches, which I don't want it to do as so many of them fail since the
kernel patch wasn't installed.  I'd like to tell it to stop just before
the kernel patch so I can halt the zones, apply the kernel patch, then
start the zones in single user mode again until next kernel patch.

Any help is appreciated.
