For OpenAFS+OSD, it would be helpful for the clients to identify OSD
capable fileservers early. Codepaths can then be separated more easily
for OSD access vs. normal fileserver access.
Similarly, fileservers can store a hint about clients that are OSD
capable, and send OSD-related data only to those. Other clients will (as
is the case already) be forwarded actual file data instead of being
supplied with OSD metadata.
