We need to use kthread_create() here for a few reasons. First
off to old kernel_thread() API functioin will be going away.
Secondly, and more importantly if I use kthread_create() we can
then properly implement a thread_exit() function which terminates
the kernel thread at any point with do_exit(). This fixes our
cleanup bug which was caused by dropping a mutex twice after
thread_exit() didn't really exit.

muck with #includes in existing Solaris style source to get it
to find the right stuff.

We've dropped all the linux- prefixes on the file in favor of spl-
which makes more sense. And we've cleaned up some of the includes
so everybody should be including their own dependencies properly.
All a module which wants to use the spl support needs to do in
include spl.h and ensure it has access to Module.symvers.
