[Turbo Fredriksson]

I'm told that OpenAFS doesn't work on SPARC64 at the moment...

I'm running Debian GNU/Linux semi-woody, and using make-kpkg to build
my kernel and module when I get this message.

Some googling, and I saw that the last reference to the Kernel was
from 2.4.31 (in 2.6.13.3 it's defined as "not used").

http://www.comp.ufscar.br/lxr/source/include/asm-sparc64/processor.h?v=linux-2.4.31;a=sparc64#L108


Looking at the define/declaration, and a (very) quick look at the
OpenAFS source(s), I'm not sure what it was for so I can't (at the
moment) fix it myself...

Does anyone have a fix, so I don't have to dig deeper? I'm lazy (and
tired, it's almost midnight :).



PS. I also keep(t) getting this message:

Only a warning, but still. It seems that the AFS_USEBUFFERS is used
BEFORE it was checked/used...
