 Ok, when you did write this:
 "I've been slogging for a while on support for separate intent logs (slogs) 
for ZFS. Without slogs, the ZIL is allocated dynamically from the main pool".

 You were talking about "The body of code " in the statement: "the ZIL is 
allocated "? 
 So i have misunderstood you...
