[OpenAFS] Filesystem possibilities for /vicepa

[Nathan Neulinger]

On any platform using the namei interface for the file/vol servers, the
data is normal files, and the file server doesn't need any special
knowledge of the contents/structure.  (i.e. linux)

ext2/ext3/reiserfs all work fine for vice partitions
ext2/ext3 work fine for cache partitions
