Running into the same problem here with Xenial - spl-dkms 0.6.5.6-0ubuntu4 does not have patches required to compile on kernels newer than 4.7. The fix for this in spl-dkms was fixed in upstream ZFS 0.6.5.8 [1] and is already in upstream Debian jessie-backports [2] and confirmed working there.
As a result, this prevents installing newer kernels that are distributed in Ubuntu on systems requiring ZFS, such as linux- image-4.8.0-34-generic.
