Brian Behlendorf 91cb1d91a4 Add .va_dentry helper
While this extra structure memory does not exist under Solaris
it is needed under Linux to pass the dentry.  This allows the
dentry to be easily instantiated before the inode is unlocked.

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
