We will rename 'ResidencyMask' to 'DataAccessProtocol' in a revised

Where by "rename", you mean get rid of the old field, and add a new
one, with a different name and completely different semantics, and
not ever try to claim they are the same field. Right? Right?
Not exactly: the current OpenAFS fileservers fill this field with
one which meant the file is on the local_disk residency. For
backward compatibility also the new field will contain a one for
plain AFS files in the fileserver's partition. But, of course, the
meaning of all other values is different to the old use.
For the purposes Jeffrey cares about, though, is is an entirely new
field. We're making a new version of the FetchStatus structure, which
will only be used by new versions of all of the affected RPCs.
