Brian Behlendorf b1cbc4610c Linux 2.6.39 compat, kern_path_parent()
The path_lookup() function has been renamed to kern_path_parent()
and the flags argument has been removed.  The only behavior now
offered is that of LOOKUP_PARENT.  The spl already always passed
this flag so dropping the flag does not impact us.

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
