Alas, if so, they haven't bothered submitting the magic patch to =
gerrit.openafs.org. The changes under =
https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/q/status:open+project:openafs+branch:master+t=
opic:linux45 are all we have. I'll take your message as a report that =
those changes are not sufficient to cope with Linux 4.5. It makes me =
very sad.
