Prakash Surya d83d25c2f8 Support building a spl-modules-dkms sub package
This commit adds support for building a spl-modules-dkms sub package
built around Dynamic Kernel Module Support. This is to allow building
packages using the DKMS infrastructure which is intended to ease the
burden of kernel version changes, upgrades, etc.

By default spl-modules-dkms-* sub package will be built as part of
the 'make rpm' target.  Alternately, you can build only the DKMS
module package using the 'make rpm-dkms' target.

Examples:

    # To build packaged binaries as well as a dkms packages
    $ ./configure && make rpm

    # To build only the packaged binary utilities and dkms packages
    $ ./configure && make rpm-utils rpm-dkms

Note: Only the RHEL 5/6, CHAOS 5, and Fedora distributions are
      supported for building the dkms sub package.

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

To copy the kernel code inside your kernel source tree for builtin compilation:

$ ./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...
$ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...

Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
