Richard Yao 36811b4430 Detect kernels that honor gfp flags passed to vmalloc() 
zfsonlinux/spl@2092cf68d8 used
PF_MEMALLOC to workaround a bug in the Linux kernel where
allocations did not honor the gfp flags passed to vmalloc().
Unfortunately, PF_MEMALLOC has the side effect of permitting
allocations to allocate pages outside of ZONE_NORMAL. This
has been observed to result in the depletion of ZONE_DMA32.

A kernel patch is available in the Gentoo bug tracker for
this issue.

  https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416685

This negates any benefit PF_MEMALLOC provides, so we introduce
an autotools check to disable the use of PF_MEMALLOC on
systems with patched kernels.

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 don’t 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
