Brian Behlendorf 5a52a782a0 Use Linux flock struct
Rather than defining our own structure which will conflict with
Linux's version when building 32-bit.  Simply setup a typedef
to always use the correct Linux version for both 32 ad 64-bit
builds.

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
