Unfortunately it is not possible. You could probably prepare some hack
that would keep all gmirror components open for writing during load of
gmirror module, which would prevent gmirror from using them immediately,
but it would be gross.

Alternatively you could introduce even simple sysctl which, when set,
will disable tasting in gmirror globally.
