Can anyone offer any guidance on kernel locks for the client?  I'm using
FreeBSD as a model for my OpenBSD port, but I'm not even sure it's right.
There seem to be a bewildering array of choices and macros to implement,
including...

AFS_GLOBAL_SUNLOCK
RX_ENABLE_LOCKS
AFS_GLOBAL_RXLOCK_KERNEL
MUTEX_INIT (and friends)
HEAVY_LOCKS
NULL_LOCKS
