Unfortunately this time it seems to be a lot harder, the main change
being at least to my understanding, the fact that the openafs kernel

need to
explicitly use openafs calls for the same propose resulting in a
need to
link to their code.
Hope is not lost totally yet as I've read about some work of
developing
a GPL licensed kernel module, and then we could use some glue code
from
there.
While not having looked at AFS code, it must at the end come
down to some syscall. Either an ioctl, a write call to some
code in /proc/whatever, or something else. 99% the coding
work is just setting up the right structures and make that
call.
Heimdal includes a wrapper library (libkafs) that provides uniform
interface to afs syscalls.
