The point of this is to permit unmodified OpenAFS userspace utilities to use either the OpenAFS kernel module or the kAFS kernel module. Whilst I might wish to ultimately replace the OpenAFS userspace utilities with my own set, that's no small piece of work, and so a handy halfway stage is a mixed environment as outlined above. Furthermore, the ability to use the OpenAFS userspace utilities unmodified with my kernel module, and, indeed vice-versa, makes testing much easier.
