Hmm. I wonder if the simplest approach would be the better. I mean, adding a flag to zpool. At home I have a playground FreeBSD machine with a ZFS zmirror, and, you guessed it, I was careless when I purchased the components, I asked for two "1 TB drives" and that I got, but different models, one of them "advanced format" and the other one "classic". I don't think it's that bad to create a pool on a classic disk using 4 KB blocks, and it's quite likely that replacement disks will be 4 KB in the near future. Also, if you use SSDs the situation is similar.
