Brian Behlendorf bc03e07a7c Revert "Detect kernels that honor gfp flags passed to vmalloc()"
This reverts commit 36811b4430.
Which is no longer required because there is now SPL code in
place to safely handle the deadlocks the kernel patch was designed
to address.  Therefore we can unconditionally use vmalloc() and
drop all the PF_MEMALLOC code.

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
