Ok, though the module built it wouldn't load into the kernel because an object
file was missing in the link step and though a symbol was missing. As a
quintessence, you'll need one more patch so that the object "osi_flush.o" is
also built and included into the kernel module:

But finally, that's it! The module now compiles fine and is also loaded into
the kernel, my openafs-client is up and running and I'm already using it as I
write down these lines.
I still have no clue where these changes must be applied on the openafs-package
source so that they turn out at the right spot for the openafs-modules-dkms
package for PowerPC machines.
