[OpenAFS-devel] Building for linux 4.10

[Stephan Wiesand]

Joe,

in =
https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/q/status:merged+project:openafs+branch:master=
+topic:linux48
I only see a single change, and is on the 1.6 branch (commit 92b1ddf), =
though not in a release yet. I doubt it's required to successfully build =
and run on Linux 4.9.

What am I missing?
