Roughly how much kernel memory does a filesystem use (even if inactive) ---
or did you really mean something like too many pools?

The ZFS documentation encourages creating filesystems for everything.  I
think my (rather beafy) laptop has 20 filesystems now for various tasks ---
but I didn't realize there was a non-trivial cost (that is: a cost beyond
the mount structure, root vnodes and whatnot)...
