	Just an update to the above, I was planning on getting to this sooner
but currently have higher ordered tasks to accomplish first.  If I do
happen to get around to it I will put a patchset up somewhere for trial.

	You should be advised that if this does happen and you upgrade your
pool + kernel there is a possibility that 8-STABLE will never see these
changes officially so you will be left to your own demise or to upgrade
to a 9-CURRENT system in order to have a supported source tree with the
zfsv28 patch once that gets in there.

	With the above 'stated', this is why it has not been my highest
priority right now.
