afs: Implement @sys substitution handling
Implement the AFS feature by which @sys at the end of a pathname component
may be substituted for one of a list of values, typically naming the
operating system. Up to 16 alternatives may be specified and these are
tried in turn until one works. Each network namespace has[*] a separate
independent list.
Upon creation of a new network namespace, the list of values is
initialised[*] to a single OpenAFS-compatible string representing arch type
plus "_linux26". For example, on x86_64, the sysname is "amd64_linux26".
[*] Or will, once network namespace support is finalised in kAFS.
The list may be set by:
# for i in foo bar linux-x86_64; do echo $i; done >/proc/fs/afs/sysname
for which separate writes to the same fd are amalgamated and applied on
close. The LF character may be used as a separator to specify multiple
items in the same write() call.
The list may be cleared by:
# echo >/proc/fs/afs/sysname
and read by:
# cat /proc/fs/afs/sysname
foo
bar
linux-x86_64
