Can you please do some testing (of the style you just did but also 
diskinfo -vt and possibly random reads) on both patch candidates:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=113885
and
http://sobomax.sippysoft.com/~sobomax/geom_mirror.diff

Unless there are significant differences in favour of the second 
version, I'm inclined to commit the version in the PR (unless problems 
and obstructions are indicated, of course).
