Yep, kernel appeared to be mostly idle while you produced that
kernel profile.

It seems you're using compressed zfs filesystems (-> lzjb_compress).
And some time is spent allocating anonymous memory (-> anon_*,
maybe bcopy, kcopy, hwblkclr -- I/O on a tmpfs, perhaps?)

Did you produce that profile while you observed ~50% kernel
cpu time usage?  I think not.

So, try to put some heavy I/O load on the ZFS pools and
rerun the kernel profile.
