Brian Behlendorf 9b0c3b2aa8 Load zlib_inflate.ko
Certain stock kernels (Debian Lenny) are built with zlib_inflate.ko
as a kernel module.  To ensure 'make check' works in-tree load this
module before loading the spl module.  This is now required for the
zlib splat regression test.

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
