The problem is that the kernel module doesn't install the syscall
correctly. You will see this if you install the kernel module and then run
for instance fs lq / (it segfaults with bad system call)

This is because the struct sysent changed between releases (they moved the
members around, and removed the member sy_paralell) which makes the kernel
modules binary incompatible. If you compile under 5.1 or 5.1a it works.

I have made a binary release available at
ftp://ftp.e.kth.se/pub/elektro/openafs/alpha_dux50_51a.tar.gz
