Brian Behlendorf 8636968f9a Provide ${kmodname}-devel-kmod for yum-builddep
In order to ensure that yum-builddep pulls in all the build
requirements a generic ${kmodname}-devel-kmod provides line is
added.  This allows a version of the development headers to be
included without requiring knowledge of the kernel version.

This is important because unlike rpmbuild which does correctly
expand the source rpm spec file, yum-builddep does not.  Without
this generic provides line mock which relies on yum-builddep is
unable to automatically satisfy the dependency.

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
