Brian Behlendorf 099dc9c2d2 Add uninstall Makefile targets
Extend the Makefiles with an uninstall target to cleanly
remove a package which was installed with 'make install'.

Additionally, ensure a 'depmod -a' is run as part of the
install to update the module dependency information.

README.markdown

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.

Documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://wiki.github.com/behlendorf/spl/
