Bug Description
I just noticed that splat.ko from the SPL upstream is packaged in our linux-image-* packages:
$ zgrep splat.ko buildlog_
linux-
CC [M] /«PKGBUILDDIR»
LD [M] /«PKGBUILDDIR»
CC [M] /«PKGBUILDDIR»

kernel/
-rw-r--r-- root/root 344662 2016-03-25 01:59 ./lib/modules/
-rw-r--r-- root/root 325110 2016-03-25 03:12 ./lib/modules/
splat.ko is used only with the /usr/sbin/splat testing tool from the spl package. I suspect we shouldn't include this module in packages that we expect users to install.
Thanks

This module does have use, namely for regression testing the spl, so I'd prefer to keep it in rather than rip it just because users may not use it.
