Has anyone tried submitting a patch to add an afs_syscall_register

yes. it wont work. they wont add a hook for code that isnt in the
kernel. further they dont like the mutiplexed afs syscall.
More to the point, it also won't solve the problem. In order to get PAG
support using the traditional method, we need to be able to patch the
setgroups system call. The new method requires access to parts of the
keyring API that are not yet exported in mainline kernels.
So no, if syscall table patching does not work on your architecture, then
you cannot have PAG's. This is not a showstopper bug for OpenAFS 1.4; it
is a problem in Linux and will have to be addressed there before we can do
anything about it.
