Brian Behlendorf a55bcaad18 Linux 3.0: Shrinker compatibility
Update the the wrapper macros for the memory shrinker to handle
this 4th API change.  The callback function now takes a
shrink_control structure.  This is certainly a step in the
right direction but it's annoying to have to accomidate yet
another version of the API.

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
