I'm more than willing to make this the default behavior for ZFS, but it 
will affect POSIX compliance.  If thats alright with everyone then I can 
change it to be the default.

secure is what it was called in the original ZFS ARC case.  I can change 
it to "posix" if you want.  My only concern would be if users have 
become accustomed to its present value.

No, this is actually a very small code change.
