We got a suggestion to remove the placeholder cache device in cases where the pool is not encrypted to avoid overhead. Per our discussions with @oniko, we believe that once the pool is encrypted, we should not be changing the device underneath it and will have to have the placeholder device for safety purposes, but I believe that we can safely remove it until we encrypt the pool.
