A creative process...

One possibility is to add getnewvnode_reserve() calls before the ZFS transaction
beginnings in the places where a new vnode/znode may have to be allocated within
a transaction.
This looks like a quick and cheap solution but it makes the code somewhat 
messier.

Another possibility is to change something in VFS machinery, so that VOP_RECLAIM
getting blocked for one filesystem does not prevent vnode allocation for other
filesystems.

I could think of other possible solutions via infrastructural changes in VFS or
ZFS...
