Provide a mechanism to control the directory name the modules are installed in. The kernel privdes INSTALL_MOD_DIR for this but it was hardcoded to be 'addon/spl'. Add a KMODDIR variable which can be passed to 'make install' to override the default directory name. While we're here change the default from 'addon/spl' to 'extra' which is the kernel.org default.

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.
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
