    Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
     "kAFS filesystem driver overhaul.
    
      The major points of the overhaul are:
    
       (1) Preliminary groundwork is laid for supporting network-namespacing
           of kAFS. The remainder of the namespacing work requires some way
           to pass namespace information to submounts triggered by an
           automount. This requires something like the mount overhaul that's
           in progress.
    
       (2) sockaddr_rxrpc is used in preference to in_addr for holding
           addresses internally and add support for talking to the YFS VL
           server. With this, kAFS can do everything over IPv6 as well as
           IPv4 if it's talking to servers that support it.
    
       (3) Callback handling is overhauled to be generally passive rather
           than active. 'Callbacks' are promises by the server to tell us
           about data and metadata changes. Callbacks are now checked when
           we next touch an inode...
