Brian Behlendorf 39a87c6921 Revert "Stabilize the hostid for RPM installations."
Creating an /etc/hostid file as part of the rpm post install
causes problems for diskless systems which are sharing an image.
While it's still critical to ensure the hostid doesn't change
for zfs root filesystems.  This will now be done by setting
the /etc/hostid in the initramfs created by dracut.

This reverts commit 79593b0dec.

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.

To build packages for your distribution:

$ ./configure
$ make pkg

Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
