Brian Behlendorf dc1d7665c5 Remove rdev packing
Remove custom code to pack/unpack dev_t's.  Under Linux all dev_t's
are an unsigned 32-bit value even on 64-bit platforms.  The lower
20 bits are used for the minor number and the upper 12 for the major
number.

This means if your importing a pool from Solaris you may get strange
major/minor numbers.  But it doesn't really matter because even if
we add compatibility code to translate the encoded Solaris major/minor
they won't do you any good under Linux.  You will still need to
recreate the dev_t with a major/minor which maps to reserved major
numbers used under Linux.

Dropping this code also resolves 32-bit builds by removing the
offending 32-bit compatibility code.

Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully ported to FreeBSD and now there is a functional Linux ZFS kernel port too. The port currently includes a fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, and ZVOL with a ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL) on the way!

$ ./configure
$ make pkg

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