It's neither complicated nor is there any 'codec' (at least I'm not 
knowing of).
BUT how many people you know they would install some 'dubious' kernel 
patch
(that was the way the ppc64 patch was called by some people)
just to run AFS??

Is it complicated to rewrite those 2 hooks just for AFS
(a little kernel-patch) or is there an OpenAFS-policy demanding
not to change the kernel-sources at all?
