I wish they had an option for "opportunistic" dedup, where if a block is
already in ARC it can be a dedupe candidate, but it won't look it up in the
DDT if it isn't already in memory.  That catches the simple "cp -R dir1
dir2" cases without blowing up the ARC on DDT blocks that 99.9999% of the
time don't match.
