[OpenAFS] Loading freshly built kernel module

I knew I forgot something...  I should also change the note in the
SymTable.  It is automatically generated as a part of the RPM build
process, but you should be able to add your own modules.  I should
just distribute the script to add new modules to the SymTable.  I'll
do that next week.

For now....  Basically, what you want to do is:
	nm <new-libafs>.o | grep iget

You will get a line that looks like:
	U <iget4>_R<xxx...>

Add a line to the SymTable that says:
<iget4>	<xxx...>	-	<new-libafs>
