The only conflict that wasn't automatically resolved was an addition in config/kernel.m4 with changed context. I took a basic look over the cherry-picked patches and nothing seems obviously incorrect.

Will try to test; the diff looks about the same to me, but I don't think grabbing a combined diff from a random gist is a great solution compared to the separated |

I reviewed the patch before adding it. |

Closing due to merge of substantially similar patch. @Mic92 A ping so I can know that there's no need to keep a patch rebased against master and can drop it from my local tree would be appreciated in future. |

Motivation for this change
I cherry-picked the Linux 5.6 compatibility patches from the latest OpenZFS master. This builds, boots, and passes tests for me with 5.6.2 (and the installer test exercises a pre-5.6 version). The backported patches are all quite simple, mostly dealing with the fallout of the 32-bit timepocalypse.
I've omitted openzfs/zfs@bd0d24e (openzfs/zfs#10072) because it depends on openzfs/zfs@066e825, which is a much more invasive change, and the PR message implies that it only breaks a non-NixOS-default kernel configuration, for a kernel version we don't ship as default/latest/testing, due to an upstream change that was an accident to begin with.
I initially wanted to bump zfsUnstable so that there'd be a pristine (albeit unreleased) upstream option for current kernels, but unfortunately the couple commits I checked broke the test with an ominous
cannot mount 'rpool': Input/output error. In the spirit of procrastination, let's hope whatever that is goes away by the time of the next upstream release.Things done
