This is especially a problem with ZFS, which utilizes UMA extensively.

IMHO, we need a flag for uma_zcreate() that would disable per CPU caches, so
that certain zones (ZFS at least) would have them off.

It might be a good idea to force this flag on every zone that has allocation >=
then the page size.
