Note that I said nothing about "openafs"..  I said "kernel-devel"
and I MEANT kernel-devel.

You didn't need kernel-devel with OpenSSI because you were building
the kernel from source and therefore installing /lib/modules/* by
hand.   In this case, however, you're trying to build against the
distributed kernel so you need the distributed kernel headers, which
come in the kernel-devel package.
