Rolf Neugebauer 8d45a96f34 kernel: Add zfs kmod build to the kernel build
This adds building the zfs-kmod package to the kernel build.
The zfs-kmod packages contains the matching ZFS kernel modules
for a given kernel in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra.

The zfs-kmod package also contains the standard kernel modules
and depmod is run over them so that modprobe works

The zfs-kmod package is not build by default due to unclarity
about licenses. Users will have to build it themselves.

See ../docs/kernel-patches.md for more information on kernel builds.

To build with various debug options enabled, build the kernel with make DEBUG=1. The options enabled are listed in kernel_config.debug. This allocates a significant amount of memory on boot and you may need to adjust the kernel config on some systems. Specifically:
