To simplify maintenance and system administration, sys-fs/zfs-kmod has been
merged into sys-fs/zfs starting from version 2.4.0_rc2-r1.

If you are using in-kernel modules from a custom built kernel you should
unset the modules USE flag for sys-fs/zfs to not build and install
kernel modules via sys-fs/zfs.

It's not yet clear, if I compile a new kernel from gentoo-sources, what would be the procedure to rebuild zfs module?
Now it is just

Code: Select all

emerge @module-rebuild

.
After that merge is complete, will I have to also rebuild userspace uselessly?

You rebuild sys-fs/zfs, yes, via @module-rebuild. The userland part isn't really that big and it's far easier to maintain this way.
