Brian Behlendorf 47995fa691 Remove xvattr support
The xvattr support in the spl has always simply consisted of
defining a couple structures and a few #defines.  This was enough
to enable compilation of code which just passed xvattr types
around but not enough to effectively manipulate them.

This change removes even this minimal support leaving it up
to packages which leverage the spl to prove the full xvattr
support.  By removing it from the spl we ensure not conflict
with the higher level packages.

This just leaves minimal vnode support for basical manipulation
of files.  This code is does have the proper support functions
in the spl and a set of regression tests.

Additionally, this change removed the unused 'caller_context_t *'
type and replaces it with a 'void *'.

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
