This is the upstream component of work that enables preliminary support
for building Gentoo's ZFS packaging on other Linux systems via Gentoo
Prefix.

Issue #2641
Modify the code to use the utsname() kernel function rather than
a global variable. This results is cleaner more portable code
because utsname() is already provided by the kernel and can be
easily emulated in user space via uname(2). This means that it
will behave consistently in both contexts.
This is also has the benefit that it allows the removal of a few
_KERNEL pre-processor conditions. And it also is a pre-requisite
for a proper FUSE port because we need to provide a valid utsname.
Finally, it allows us to remove this functionality from the SPL
and all the related compatibility code.

Issue #2757
Install the common zfs kernel development headers under
/usr/src/zfs-<version>/ rather than in a kernel specific
directory. The kernel specific build products such as
zfs_config.h and Modules.symvers are left installed under
/usr/src/zfs-<version>/<kernel>.
This was done to be consistent with where dkms expects
kernel module source to be packaged. It also allows for
a common zfs-kmod-devel package which includes the headers,
and per-kernel zfs-kmod-devel-<kernel> packages.

When the original build system code was added the release
component was accidentally omited from the development header
install path. This patch adds the missing path component so
it's always clear exactly what release your compiling against.

The fsync() callback in the file_operations structure used to take
3 arguments. The callback now only takes 2 arguments because the
dentry argument was determined to be unused by all consumers. To
handle this a compatibility prototype was added to ensure the right
prototype is used. Our implementation never used the dentry argument
either so it's just a matter of using the right prototype.
The const keyword was added to the 'struct xattr_handler' in the
generic Linux super_block structure. To handle this we define an
appropriate xattr_handler_t typedef which can be used. This was
the preferred solution because it keeps the code clean and readable.
Lay the initial ground work for a include/linux/ compatibility
directory. This was less critical in the past because the bulk
of the ZFS code consumes the Solaris API via the SPL. This API
was stable and the bulk Linux API differences were handled in
the SPL.
However, with the addition of a full Posix layer written directly
against the Linux APIs we are going to need more compatibility
code. It makes sense that all this code should be cleanly located
in one place. Subsequent patches should move the existing zvol
and vdev_disk compatibility code in to this directory.
