i suspect this is something broken on the tree (1.5.0?) you are using.
and yes, AFSTOI/ITOAFS went away in favor of AFSTOV/VTOAFS just for
consistency (linux calls it an inode and everyone else uses vnode).

i guess i would just ignore this.  it means that afs couldnt find
the bits it needs for pag support.  this broken on later kernels
when the sys_call_table became read only and "unpatchable".
