I'm not sure if I have followed -- could you be more specific on what
kind of overhead?  (Speaking for the escalated read or read before
write, I think we just can't avoid it without recreating the pool,
assuming an ashift=9 image is dd'ed into an ashift=12 storage.)

Or are you talking about something that I have overlooked?
