To be fair, git log covers the entire kernel (and more), not just ZFS.  I
think it would be more appropriate to compare to the amount of memory used
for all (more or less) permanently allocated kernel memory.  Which is more
on the scale of dozens of MB (genunix is 4.5MB; /kernel/drv/amd64 is 17MB
(though not all are loaded)).
