adapted from marc dionne's patch, but works more directly like the darwin port,
further, i'm guessing iget_locked will go away evewntually. maybe this is
too conservative?

Include linux/key-type.h in osi_groups.c, if it exists. Fix
do_sync_read test for recent kbuild (maybe break it for [some older 2.6]).

To prevent stripping, specify the '--disable-strip-binaries' option on
the ./configure command line. fileserver and volserver are never stripped.
When --enable-debug is specified, binaries will not be stripped by default.

1 - task_struct loses thread_info, which is now accessible through the
task_thread_info() macro. A configure test is added to deal with this.
2 - the SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY flag is gone
(cherry picked from commit 37a0b14e016af74176d714cc1b25a2af00275d56)
Background: OpenAFS is vulnerable to crashing in the linux kernel symlink
code when running on kernel versions between 2.6.10 to 2.6.12. This also
includes all RHEL4 kernels, because RHEL4 includes the code from 2.6.10. The
problem is that the symlink text caching API, page_follow_link() et al, is
unsuitable for network filesystems where the page cache may be invalidated
in parallel with a path lookup.
This crash can be triggered easily by doing a bunch of path lookups
involving symlinks (e.g., stat() on various files pointed to through links),
while simultaneously running 'fs flushvol' on the volume containing the
symlinks.
The simplest way to fix this problem is to disable the use of symlink text
caching when the kernel does not provide a usable symlink API.

Test whether Linux kernel builds work at all before going into specific
builds so that we can fail earlier with a better error message. Try to
put more errors from the kernel build into config.log.
