Is it possible to force ZFS to "nicely" re-organize data inside a zpool
after a new root level vdev has been introduced?

e.g. Take a pool with 1 vdev consisting of a 2 disk mirror.  Populate some
arbitrary files using about 50% of the capacity.  Then add another 2
mirrored disks to the pool.

It seems like (judging from zpool iostat) that going forward new data will
be striped as expected, but existing data is not striped.  This presents a
question of what happens with the original mirror set runs out of space?
Does the striping stop automagically?  How does this impact resilvering and
recovering from failures?
