Well, presumably, this is supposed to be building a 2.6 module, since
preliminary 2.6 support is in the code.

It seems that way, doesn't it.

Most of what I found was about how the modules themselves need to be
different, not about how the externalities like makefiles need to change.
And what I can find dealing with makefiles is very simple -- and therefore
non-trivial to drop into the whole existing AFS build system. If you can
point me towards something more specific, I'd appreciate it.
