I tired a patch without much success. But I'm not sure I did everything
right.

This I didn't do explicitly. Don't know what it means.

I created a patch from what you suggested above.

First I mistakenly build and installed the openafs package new. Than I
remembered that this has to be done in the openafs-modules-dkms. So I
did apply the patch there and installed it. After rebooting
I tried the
"git checkout cb0081604ef5369f34279c6eb77eb4d28406f2ac"
and 
"git checkout master"

a couple off times but after about four times an error occurred with
code -32.

I did all of that on top of AUR-openafs-linux-4.4 which was provided by
Bevan, the openafs archlinux packager.

The patch I actually used is attached below.

Cheers,
Michael
