Remove zfs_major/zfs_minor/zfsfstype
Under Linux we don't need to reserve a major or minor number for the filesystem. We can rely on the VFS to handle colisions without this being handled by the lower ZFS layers. Additionally, there is no need to keep a zfsfstype around. We are not limited on Linux by the OpenSolaris infrastructure which needed this. The upper zpl layer can specify the filesystem type.
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
