It's true that for bleeding-edge kernels, sometimes there's something

while on this subject, it looks like it will be necessary to build a
complete module to test for certain features. the latest bleeding edge
kernel has apparently made sys_open an exported gpl symbol. so while the
symbol is present, it cant be used by osi_probe since openafs is not gpl.
That's OK; the probe code checks at runtime to see what symbols are
available to it. It won't be able to use the exit+open method on kernels
which don't export sys_open, but that's OK; it'll just try a different
method.
