Something in r291926 (and earlier) causes reboots during periodic daily (14 jails on system)

That's sorta what I expected.....

First thing I'd try -- turn off UMA for ZFS.  It will have a performance
impact but it eliminates one of the issues that I had to do a lot of
work to get around in the patch I developed.

In /boot/loader.conf:

vfs.zfs.zio.use_uma=0

And reboot.
