[OpenAFS] Install OpenAFS on ppc64?

[chas williams - CONTRACTOR]

i believe we have one ppc64 machine running openafs.  the biggest deal
was to make sure that the binaries were built 64-bit.  the 32-bit
versions of the ucontext syscalls are broken/incomplete.

just based on your errors though it looks like the afs module isnt
loaded?
