Refresh the existing RPM packaging to conform to the 'Fedora
Packaging Guidelines'. This includes adopting the kmods2
packaging standard which is used fod kmods distributed by
rpmfusion for Fedora/RHEL.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelineshttp://rpmfusion.org/Packaging/KernelModules/Kmods2
While the spec files have been entirely rewritten from a
user perspective the only major changes are:
* The Fedora packages now have a build dependency on the
rpmfusion repositories. The generic kmod packages also
have a new dependency on kmodtool-1.22 but it is bundled
with the source rpm so no additional packages are needed.
* The kernel binary module packages have been renamed from
spl-modules-* to kmod-spl-* as specificed by kmods2.
* The is now a common kmod-spl-devel-* package in addition
to the per-kernel devel packages. The common package
contains the development headers while the per-kernel
package contains kernel specific build products.

Closes#222
Currently, when configure --with-config is used, selective compilation
is only effective for the simple "make" case. Package builders (e.g.
make rpm) still build everything (utils and modules). This patch fixes
that.
This patch also drops the duplicate rpm-modules build target.

Issue zfsonlinux/zfs#851
RPM version 4.9.0 has been observed to generate extra debug
messages in certain cases. These debug messages prevent us
from cleanly acquiring the architecture. This is clearly
an upstream RPM bug which will get fixed. But until then
a safe solution is to pipe the result through 'tail -1'
to just grab the architecture bit we care about.
Example 'rpm -qp spl-0.6.0-rc4.src.rpm --qf %{arch}' output:
Freeing read locks for locker 0x166: 28031/47480843735008
Freeing read locks for locker 0x168: 28031/47480843735008

The long term fix for Debian and Slackware style packaging is
to add native support for building these packages. Unfortunately,
that is a large chunk of work I don't have time for right now.
That said it would be nice to have at least basic packages for
these distributions.
As a quick short/medium term solution I've settled on using alien
to convert the RPM packages to DEB or TGZ style packages. The
build system has been updated with the following build targets
which will first build RPM packages and then convert them as
needed to the target package type:
make rpm: Create .rpm packages
make deb: Create .deb packages
make tgz: Create .tgz packages
make pkg: Create the right package type for your distribution
The solution comes with lot of caveats and your mileage may vary.
But basically the big limitations are that the resulting packages:
1) Will not have the correct dependency information.
2) Will not not include the kernel version in the release.
3) Will not handle all differences between distributions.
But the resulting packages should be easy to install and remove
from your system and take care of running 'depmod -a' and such.
As I said at the top this is not the right long term solution.
If any of the upstream distribution maintainers want to jump in
and help do this right for their distribution I'd love the help.
