Brian Behlendorf aed8671cb0 taskq style, remove #define wrappers
When the taskq implementation was originally written I wrapped all
the API functions in #define's.  This was done as a preventative
measure to ensure that a taskq symbol never conflicted with an
existing kernel symbol.

However, in practice the taskq symbols never conflicted.  The only
major conflicts occured with the kmem cache API.  Since this added
layer of obfuscation never bought us anything for the taskq's I'm
removing it.

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.

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
