I've been looking at making OpenAFS work on NetBSD/amd64.  I have no
problems with NetBSD/i386, with and without PAM (well, other than I
have to use arla for actual client support), but on amd64 with PAM I'm
seeing the need for the same type of hackery.  What would be the
direction needed to go for making this work in the mainline source
tree?
