I think that most ZFS users, if they have a UFS partition, it'll only be 
for a root/boot partition anyway.

So in a mixed ZFS/UFS system, ideally the Inactive pages should be 
slowly returned to ARC.  It is desirable for ZFS to get a majority of 
the available (inactive) memory, to improve its performance.

Currently we have the opposite situation in effect.
