OpenAFS is not generally buildable on Fedora pre-releases or in rawhide
because of various debugging options that are turned on in the kernel that
drag in GPL symbols (such as __init_work).  That has been the case for the
past few years.

These options get turned off in the final release kernel, so we can expect
that OpenAFS will build correctly one F15 is released, hopefully.
