When ZPIOS was originally written it was designed to use the
device_create() and device_destroy() functions. Unfortunately,
these functions changed considerably over the years making them
difficult to rely on.
As it turns out a better choice would have been to use the
misc_register()/misc_deregister() functions. This interface
for registering character devices has remained stable, is simple,
and provides everything we need.
Therefore the code has been reworked to use this interface. The
higher level ZFS code has always depended on these same interfaces
so this is also as a step towards minimizing our kernel dependencies.

Issue #2757
The vast majority of these changes are in Linux specific code.
They are the result of not having an automated style checker to
validate the code when it was originally written. Others were
caused when the common code was slightly adjusted for Linux.
This patch contains no functional changes. It only refreshes
the code to conform to style guide.
Everyone submitting patches for inclusion upstream should now
run 'make checkstyle' and resolve any warning prior to opening
a pull request. The automated builders have been updated to
fail a build if when 'make checkstyle' detects an issue.

Use the standard Linux MODULE_VERSION macro to expose the installed
zavl, znvpair, zunicode, zcommon, zfs, and zpios module versions.
This will also automatically add a checksum of the .c files and
headers in "srcversion". See:

/sys/module/zavl/srcversion
/sys/module/znvpair/version

A few files still refer to @behlendorf's private fork on
github. Use the primary web site URL instead. Two typos
are also corrected.

As of Linux 3.4 the UMH_WAIT_* constants were renumbered. In
particular, the meaning of "1" changed from UMH_WAIT_PROC (wait for
process to complete), to UMH_WAIT_EXEC (wait for the exec, but not the
process). A number of call sites used the number 1 instead of the
constant name, so the behavior was not as expected on kernels with this
change.
One visible consequence of this change was that processes accessing
automounted snapshots received an ELOOP error because they failed to
wait for zfs.mount to complete.

This commit introduces a "copy-builtin" script designed to prepare a
kernel source tree for building ZFS as a builtin module. The script
makes a full copy of all needed files, thus making the kernel source
tree fully independent of the zfs 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 zfs
source package.

Issue #851
As of linux-2.6.36 the last in-tree consumer of fops->ioctl() has
been removed and thus fops()->ioctl() has also been removed. The
replacement hook is fops->unlocked_ioctl() which has existed in
kernel since 2.6.12. Since the ZFS code only contains support
back to 2.6.18 vintage kernels, I'm not adding an autoconf check
for this and simply moving everything to use fops->unlocked_ioctl().
One of the neat tricks an autoconf style project is capable of
is allow configurion/building in a directory other than the
source directory. The major advantage to this is that you can
build the project various different ways while making changes
in a single source tree.
For example, this project is designed to work on various different
Linux distributions each of which work slightly differently. This
means that changes need to verified on each of those supported
distributions perferably before the change is committed to the
public git repo.
Using nfs and custom build directories makes this much easier.
I now have a single source tree in nfs mounted on several different
systems each running a supported distribution. When I make a
change to the source base I suspect may break things I can
concurrently build from the same source on all the systems each
in their own subdirectory.
wget -c http://github.com/downloads/behlendorf/zfs/zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd zfs-x-y-z
------------------------- run concurrently ----------------------
<ubuntu system> <fedora system> <debian system> <rhel6 system>
mkdir ubuntu mkdir fedora mkdir debian mkdir rhel6
cd ubuntu cd fedora cd debian cd rhel6
../configure ../configure ../configure ../configure
make make make make
make check make check make check make check
This change also moves many of the include headers from individual
incude/sys directories under the modules directory in to a single
top level include directory. This has the advantage of making
the build rules cleaner and logically it makes a bit more sense.
