[OpenAFS] Craziness with cache, Input/Output error, Linux

[Jeff Blaine]

Is there substantial reason to believe that this has been
addressed between 1.4.6 and 1.4.7pre3?  The boxes that (I
would guess) experience this are beefy/fast boxes.  Our
hosts in question are production machines, not ones we can
perform OpenAFS testing on unless there is a clear case
for the specific issue having been fixed (or attempted).
