Brian Behlendorf c1f95c2b94 Correct MAXUID
The uid_t on most systems is in fact and unsigned 32-bit value.
This is almost always correct, however you could compile your
kernel to use an unsigned 16-bit value for uid_t.  In practice
I've never encountered a distribution which does this so I'm
willing to overlook this corner case for now.

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

Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
