I encounter 2 times a deadlock during high I/O activity (the last one 
during rsync + rm -r on a 5GB hierarchy (openoffice-2/work).

I was running with this patch:
http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/zgd_done.patch
db> show allpcpu
Current CPU: 1

cpuid        = 0
curthread    = 0xa5ebe440: pid 3422 "txg_thread_enter"
curpcb       = 0xeb175d90
fpcurthread  = none
idlethread   = 0xa5529aa0: pid 12 "idle: cpu0"
APIC ID      = 0
currentldt   = 0x50

cpuid        = 1
curthread    = 0xa56ab220: pid 47 "arc_reclaim_thread"
curpcb       = 0xe6837d90
fpcurthread  = none
idlethread   = 0xa5529880: pid 11 "idle: cpu1"
APIC ID      = 1
currentldt   = 0x50

With the 2 times arc_reclaim_thread `running`
