Brian Behlendorf 0aff071d18 Minor policy interface
Simply add the policy function wrappers.  They are completely
non-functional and always return that everything is OK, but once
again they simplify compilation of dependent packages for now.
These can/should be removed once the security policy of the
dependent application is completely understood and intergrade
as appropriate with Linux.

The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream Solaris development closely and dont want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.

To build packages for your distribution:

$ ./configure
$ make pkg

Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
