This would force all ZFS users of kfreebsd 8.2 in Wheezy to upgrade to
9.0. I think we should wait for the release before doing this. OTOH
if new installs are broken, that's a big problem too.

Yes. A runtime check is needed.

Maybe it can, but the ABI incompatibility is probably a much deeper
problem than just ZVOL support. E.g. I wouldn't be surprised if
"zpool status" reports wrong data.
