Do you mean ZIL/SLOG? ZIL == ZFS Intent Log, SLOG == SSD Log.

Not on btrfs level. I guess using bcache on top of btrfs may achieve
some similar effects.

ZIL is *write* intent log, it does not directly accelerates reads. ZFS
supports SSD as second-level read cache, but as far as I remember it is
physically separate from ZIL.
