Native ZPL Implementation

[behlendorf]

The major component missing from this port is the ZPL. This is a huge amount of work given the differences between a vnode based VFS like Solaris and Linux's own unique VFS. But this needs to be done and it very achievable now that we have a solid port of the DMU and SPA for the Linux kernel.

I found a recent project by Daniel Lorch to port HammerFS from Dragonfly BSD to Linux (http://github.com/dlorch/hammer-linux). Maybe we can use part of his code to implement ZPL due to the similarity between Solaris VFS and Dragonfly BSD VFS?

The ZPL posix layer is now available in 0.6.0-rc1. It will be stabilized for the full 0.6.0 release.
