[OpenAFS-devel] Building cvs head on Linux 2.6

[chas williams (contractor)]

not quite.  you get redefinition of __this_module when compiling
osi_module.c.  you could conditionalize this to KERNEL_VERSION > 2.6.5
but its probably better to adopt jeff's patch which uses the linux kernel
build environment as a long term solution.
