Did anyone even propose a patch that added a hook for the AFS syscall specifically?
Yes. I don't recall whether this was discussed on lkml or done entirely out-of-band. It was proposed. It never happened.
I sent something to linux-kernel; It was at the time just a copy of how the nfssrvctl syscall was being hooked.
AFS didn't actually need the syscall
... except to set initial CM configuration, start our various kernel threads, manage PAGs and tokens, and perform control operations on files in AFS. If you don't care about doing any of those things, then sure, we don't need the syscall.
Several (a lot?) of those things could be done with /proc, sysctl, etc.
You're gonna whine. Good for you. I don't care. Don't waste your breath.
