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.

Title:
  splat.ko is packaged

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I just noticed that splat.ko from the SPL upstream is packaged in our
  linux-image-* packages:

  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
