Matthew Ahrens 4cbde2ecbf Create /proc/sys/kernel/spl/gitrev with git hash
The existing mechanisms for determining what code is running in the
kernel do not always correctly report the git hash.  The versions
reported there do not reflect changes made since `configure` was run
(i.e. incremental builds do not update the version) and they are
misleading if git tags are not set up properly.  This applies to
`modinfo zfs`, `dmesg`, and `/sys/module/zfs/version`.

There are complicated requirements on how the existing version is
generated.  Therefore we are leaving that alone, and adding a new
mechanism to record and retrieve the git hash:
`cat /proc/sys/kernel/spl/gitrev`

The gitrev is re-generated at compile time, when running `make`
(including for incremental builds).  The value is the output of `git
describe` (or "unknown" if not in a git repo or there are uncommitted
changes).

We're also removing /proc/sys/kernel/spl/version, which was never very
useful.

The Solaris Porting Layer, SPL, is a Linux kernel module which provides a compatibility layer used by the ZFS on Linux project.

Installation

The latest version of the SPL is maintained as part of this repository. Only when building ZFS version 0.7.x or earlier must an external SPL release be used. These releases can be found at:

Release

The SPL is released under a GPLv2 license.
