Hrm, I must've missed that code.  Doesn't surprise me.  OTOH, we could
easily store other (needed) data about the cachefiles in
afs_InitCacheFile(), such as the file 'key'.  But I'd much rather
use a portable access mechanism.

This all came about because Linux doesn't really have an iopen() VFS
operation.
