Brian Behlendorf 8655ce492f Linux 2.6.36 compat, use fops->unlocked_ioctl()
As of linux-2.6.36 the last in-tree consumer of fops->ioctl() has
been removed and thus fops()->ioctl() has also been removed.  The
replacement hook is fops->unlocked_ioctl() which has existed in
kernel since 2.6.12.  Since the SPL only contains support back
to 2.6.18 vintage kernels, I'm not adding an autoconf check for
this and simply moving everything to use fops->unlocked_ioctl().

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
