[OpenAFS-devel] porting openafs to another linux - problems with vRefcount type..

[Derek Atkins]

Ahh, I hadn't thought about that.  Yea, that would cause a problem.
However, changing atomic_t to 'int' would only work until someone
changed atomic_t.  I think a better solution would be to change
OpenAFS to use the correct vrefCount interfaces.
