num_physpages was removed by torvalds/linux@cfa11e08ed, so lets replace it with totalram_pages. This is a bug fix as much as it is a compatibility fix because num_physpages did not reflect the number of pages actually available to the kernel: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0908.2/01001.html Also, there are known issues with memory calculations when ZFS is in a Xen dom0. There is a chance that using totalram_pages could resolve them. This conjecture is untested at the time of writing.

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 do not want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.
To build packages for your distribution:
$ ./configure
$ make pkg
If you are building directly from the git tree and not an officially released tarball you will need to generate the configure script. This can be done by executing the autogen.sh script after installing the GNU autotools for your distribution.
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
