[OpenAFS] Loading kernel modules fails

IIRC, this is caused when you try to install a module compiled against a 
kernel with a large memory model into a kenrel with a smaller memory model.  
With CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM set, the functions are macros, but with it unset, they 
are functions.

Something like that.
