Dirty confession: I have always put my AFS modules, whether Transarc, Open
or Arla, in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/fs

My scripts just use modprobe. If you like, assume the module gets there by
"occult means". But, modules live where modules live, not off in the rest
of the world

-also puts Solaris modules in /kernel/fs/afs, with a link in /kernel/sys
