ufs on zvol is faster, either in the parent or a bhyve using virtio-blk,
than zfs. at least for writing, which is my dominant work load. i expect
that this is due to zfs's compression logic rather than anything having
to do with creating/extending files to accommodate writes.

i'm just going to live without fstrim until it's supported in
virtio-blk. i know that this option isn't available to everybody, but at
the moment storage is cheap enough to waste.
