I've got most of userland compiling, and am currently working on the kernel
stuff in another buffer as I type this, using the "copy over the digital unix
code and hack at it until it compiles" approach.  I'll make another patch this
weekend, stil based off of the openafs 1.0 release, or earlier if I can get
something that will actually build.  Please note that I would be extremely
surprised if such an incredibly preliminary kernel module would NOT make the
kernel go kablooey.

A stable port is still quite a while off, so you're probably best off
continuting to use arla.
