I'm assembling a changeset merging the still-useful bits of my patchset 
with Chas's heavy lifting on the pthreading front, at 
https://github.com/kaduk/openafs/commits/newbozo .  I changed the 
commit-IDs for everything past the first commit (which was verified by 
buildbot already), so as to not cause confusion on gerrit.  (I also 
abandoned my gerrit changes for my old patchset.)

Once I have squahsed, reviewed and tested things, I plan to push it to 
gerrit for general review.
