The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which
provides many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it
possible to run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively
minimal modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to
track upstream Solaris development closely and don’t want the overhead
of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux
primitives.
Documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be
found at: http://wiki.github.com/behlendorf/spl/
