The latest kernels no longer define AUTOCONF_INCLUDED which was being used to detect the new style autoconf.h kernel configure options. This results in the CONFIG_* checks always failing incorrectly for newer kernels. The fix for this is a simplification of the testing method. Rather than attempting to explicitly include to renamed config header. It is simpler to unconditionally include <linux/module.h> which must pick up the correctly named header.

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 don’t 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
