This doesn't do exactly what you want, but might address your problem, 
anyway: try "renice +20 [gmirror PID]", where "[gmirror PID]" is the PID 
of the system process handling your mirror (ps auxw | grep g_mirror). I 
know that back when ZFS code ran in separate processes back in RELENG_7, 
renicing the zpa_zio* and spa_scrub_thread processes made the system a 
lot more responsive during a scrub.
