No PR. We had a problem at Netflix with the multiple drives we have in a
system, so we disabled it locally. I wasn't seeing it in !Netflix FreeBSD
at the time, so I didn't upstream. I since discovered the problem on a raw
FreeBSD kernel on my machines here, but haven't had time to investigate
further. It could be multiple drives, or something else triggering it. I
just don't know yet, so there's nothing concrete to point to.
