Try the attached patch for OpenAFS.

Patch the code, run regen.sh, and configure with --disable-linux- 
syscall-probing

One consideration is that this will only work correctly if your kernel  
has keyring support enabled. Otherwise, the kernel module will fail to  
build with unresolved symbols.

    Add option to disable syscall probing
    
    This adds the ability to disable syscall probing at configuration
    time to deal with Linux architectures which have compile, run, or
    load time issues with probes.
