Brian Behlendorf d837ae395b Fix 32-bit MAXOFFSET_T definition
The correct definition of MAXOFFSET_T under Solaris is in reality
tied to the maximum size of a 'long long' type.  With this in mind
MAXOFFSET_T is now defined as LLONG_MAX which ensures the correct
value is used on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

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
