I am not sure if my message <5231A016.7060906 at FreeBSD.org> was intercepted by
NSA and didn't reach you...  At least I haven't seen any reaction to it.
So, ZFS does not need this band-aid.  If you think that it may be needed for
other filesystems or is useful in general, then okay.

Just in case, r254694 is not in releng/9.2 and I haven't seen any evidence that
Jimmy has tested a tree that included that commit.
