I talked with Jeff about something slightly similar for UMA:  I
would like to be able to say "try to always keep N items available" on
a zone.

For things like struct bio, the exception path is pretty drastic and
GEOM allocates them M_NOWAIT and in small swarms, so being able to
specify a moderate low-water mark would make sense.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
