Yes, the idea is that you'll be able to have an OpenAFS build spit out a
smaller tree from which kernel modules can be built later. Right now the
subtree can only be built for the sysname you built the root for. It's
hoped we can get *at least* to the point where you'd be able to build for
the same MKAFS_OSTYPE, namely, AIX, Digital UNIX, Darwin, FreeBSD, HP-UX,
Linux, Solaris with just one subtree for all supported hardware platforms.
That support isn't done yet.
