This morning, I found the arc_reclaim_thread running hot on my laptop 
running 12.0-ALPHA5 r338572.

vfs.zfs.arc_max="4294967296"  <-- 4 GiB

zfskern{arc_reclaim_thread}

zfs_arc_meta_strategy is still the default of 1.

I sampled the thread's stacks with

for N in `jot 1000`; do procstat -kk 100101; done | grep 100101

and put the results here:

I'm happy to help debug this.  Just let me know what you need.
