while on this topic of linux support in afs, i thought that i would mention
i 'ported' afs 3.6 (release 4) to work 2.3.99-pre3 kernels last week.
i had been running 2.3.x series since we were doing some linux-atm work
development and i was really beginning to miss afs.  anyway yesterday
i started work on updating my changes with respect to the 2.4.0-test4 kernel.

while i no one from transarc reads this list, would transarc be interested
in the diffs?  (i imagine i could submit this as a bug report)  or if
someone else at transarc is already working on changes to afs for later
kernels i would like to hear about it.  btw, i also made some changes to
support ppc.

if anyone else would like to try out these updated modules i suppose i
could make them available via the contrib area in afs (i am one of the site
contacts so that's actaully pretty easy)  since the 2.3.x and 2.4.0 series
are in a state of flux its difficult to meet everyone's needs. but 2.4.0
seems to be just around the corner and hopefully afs wont require any more
siginifcant changes.
