[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Patches to build udeb's and module packages directly from source

[Aron Xu]

Hi Turbo,

I've just merged your branch for spl into master, and added several
commits to make it fit better in current situation. I've tested
current head (afe81338fdee7a20312dca21f92afdd5799c53ef) builds and
works correctly for me, can you have a look to see whether I've missed
anything?

I'll look at the zfs branch very soon, and I think the basic stuff are
the same for these two packages, and there are a few others things to
deal with for zfs?
