i know what you meant.  i am sorry i lost the code as well but like i said
it wasnt all that difficult.  you just following the code of AFS_OSF_ENV
in afs_vcache.c  the hard part for 2.4 is making the afs-specific part of
the inode small enough to fit in a 2.4 inode.  2.6 doesnt have this problem
since the fs-specific part of the inode is a pointer.
