No, you cannot do this.  The original file contained this message:

 * Copyright (C) Paul Mackerras 1997.

 * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
 * modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License

The GNU General Public License and the IBM Public License are not 
compatible.  You cannot simply drop GPL'd code into OpenAFS; the result 
would not be distributable under the terms of either license.

You also cannot borrow code from Linux and simply rip out the license and 
replace it with one of your choosing.  It would be acceptable to include 
this code in OpenAFS only if you can obtain permission from Paul Mackerras 

AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS MADE A SUBSTANTIAL CONTRIBUTION TO THAT FILE to 
distribute it under the terms of the IBM Public License.
