VOP_* macros come from the target kernel; OpenAFS does not define them.
You have to look in the headers and source (or the API documentation)
for e.g. linux or opensolaris to see what they do for those platforms. 

Typically they just expand to a function call that calls a function
pointer derived from the vnode pointer. For example, on Solaris,
VOP_WRITE(vp, foo) is effectively a call to
(*(vp)->v_op->vop_write)(vp, foo).

When looking around for OS-defined stuff like that, convenient sites are
<http://lxr.linux.no/> for Linux, <http://src.opensolaris.org/> for
Solaris, and <http://fxr.watson.org/> for FreeBSD, Darwin, and others
(including Linux and Solaris, but with a different interface than LXR or
src.opensolaris.org).
