[OpenAFS] OpenAFS on Linux 2.5.x

[Derek Atkins]

And now you're talking about a lot of extra storage for, basically, just
AFS...  You now need at least (on x86) 4 bytes for the fs key, and 4 bytes
for the PAG, plus another 4 bytes for the 'next pag' -- assuming you build
a linked list instead of a hash table.  Or you can trade off yet more memory
to create an array, but how do you key into the array?

As I said, I don't recall a "simple" solution ever being presented.
