Brian Behlendorf 5f0a4b0847 Remove ARCH packaging
The kernel modules are now available in the Arch User Repository
(AUR) via zfs.  Since their packaging is maintained and superior
to ours it is being removed from the tree.

  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ZFS

Now that various distributions are picking up the packages we
should eventually be able to remove most of this infrastructure.
Packaging belongs with the distributions not upstream.

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

To copy the kernel code inside your kernel source tree for builtin compilation:

$ ./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...
$ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...

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