just a comment about the linux sysnames.  it seems redundant to specify the
kernel version in there since that usually its the important piece.  if i
had to do it over again, i would have renamed i386_linux22 to just i386_linux
using the '#if KERNEL_VERSION >' to handle any differences.  this wouldnt
have taken into account glibc differences though.

if you have ia64_linux_24_22 and ia64_linux_22_22 you are going to have
two sets of afs binaries that are essentially the same.  perhaps just
having i386_linux_22 (were 22 is the abi) would be 'better'?  just
distribute/build the appropriate different kernel modules.
