Your code was not in the formerly-canonical place, so I didn't notice
it. But a few things:
* You should probably adopt my change to make afs_nbsd_initialize() a
vfs_init function, so that all of the module initialization is done
at boot time when it's linked statically into the kernel. I'd also
suggest moving all the syscall entry hacking out of afsinit()
(i.e. just putting NetBSD-specific code in afs_nbsd_init()), and
trying again to make the module unloadable.
* Making the module build on any version (your __NetBSD_Version__
hackery) is probably *not* a good idea. Most version changes *do*
require changes in the AFS module.
* My ARM context switch is faster.
