Compile error on ZFS and SPL modules

[youf3]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile the kernel on Centos 7 and having problem with ZFS and SPL.

What I tried was to follow instruction here:
https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-reference/custom-kernels-distros/custom-compiled-kernel-centos-7

Everything worked (with some modification : https://github.com/iHeartGraph/falcon/pull/1 ), until i do

It looks like there is a "make module" missing in one of the Makefile used by the main Makefile.
Any clue on how to fix this issue?

[youf3]

Temporary fix on this is to build ZFS and SPL manually with DKMS.

Once you install kernel headers for 4.4.8+, issue the following commands

$ sudo dkms autoinstall -k 4.4.8+
