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.
Add quick build instructions Full update to date build information will stay on the wiki for now, but there is no harm in adding the bare bones instructions to the README. They shouldn't change and are a reasonable quick start.

To build packages for your distribution:
Fix markdown rendering These two lines were being rendered incorrectly on the GitHub site. To fix the issue there needs to be leading whitespace before each line to ensure each command is rendered on its own line. $ ./configure $ make pkg

Add script for builtin module building. This commit introduces a "copy-builtin" script designed to prepare a kernel source tree for building SPL as a builtin module. The script makes a full copy of all needed files, thus making the kernel source tree fully independent of the spl source package. To achieve that, some compilation flags (-include, -I) have been moved to module/Makefile. This Makefile is only used when compiling external modules; when compiling builtin modules, a Kbuild file generated by the configure-builtin script is used instead. This makes sure Makefiles inside the kernel source tree does not contain references to the spl source package. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Issue zfsonlinux/zfs#851

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
Reference new zfsonlinux.org website The wiki contents have been converted to html and made available at their new home http://zfsonlinux.org. The wiki has also been disabled the html pages are now the official documentation.
