Chris Dunlap 492b1d2ef0 Update ZED copyright boilerplate
This commit updates the copyright boilerplate within the ZED subtree.

The instructions for appending a contributor copyright line have
been removed.  Manually maintaining copyright notices in this
manner is error-prone, imprecise at a file-scope granularity, and
oftentimes inaccurate.  These lines can become a pernicious source of
merge conflicts.  A commit log is better suited to maintaining this
information.  Consequently, a line has been added to the boilerplate
to refer to the git commit log for authoritative copyright attribution.

To account for the scenario where a file may become separated from
the codebase and commit history (i.e., it is copied somewhere else),
a line has been added to identify the file's origin.

The majority of the code in the ZFS on Linux port comes from OpenSolaris
which has been released under the terms of the CDDL open source license.
This includes the core ZFS code, libavl, libnvpair, libefi, libunicode,
and libutil. The original OpenSolaris source can be downloaded from:
http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b121/on-src.tar.bz2
Files which do not originate from OpenSolaris are noted in the file header
and attributed properly. These exceptions include, but are not limited
to, the vdev_disk.c and zvol.c implementation which are licensed under
the CDDL.
The zpios test code is originally derived from the Lustre pios test code
which is licensed under the GPLv2. As such the heavily modified zpios
kernel test code also remains licensed under the GPLv2.
The latest stable and development versions of this port can be downloaded
from the official ZFS on Linux site located at:
http://zfsonlinux.org/
This ZFS on Linux port was produced at the Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory (LLNL) under Contract No. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44)
between the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Lawrence Livermore
National Security, LLC (LLNS) for the operation of LLNL. It has been
approved for release under LLNL-CODE-403049.
Unless otherwise noted, all files in this distribution are released
under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL).
Exceptions are noted within the associated source files. See the file
