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.

Closes#816
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

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.
