Lay the initial ground work for a include/linux/ compatibility directory. This was less critical in the past because the bulk of the ZFS code consumes the Solaris API via the SPL. This API was stable and the bulk Linux API differences were handled in the SPL. However, with the addition of a full Posix layer written directly against the Linux APIs we are going to need more compatibility code. It makes sense that all this code should be cleanly located in one place. Subsequent patches should move the existing zvol and vdev_disk compatibility code in to this directory.
Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully ported to FreeBSD and now there is a functional Linux ZFS kernel port too. The port currently includes a fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, and ZVOL with a ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL) on the way!
