    afs: Support the AFS dynamic root
    
    Support the AFS dynamic root which is a pseudo-volume that doesn't connect
    to any server resource, but rather is just a root directory that
    dynamically creates mountpoint directories where the name of such a
    directory is the name of the cell.
    
    Such a mount can be created thus:
    
            mount -t afs none /afs -o dyn
    
    Dynamic root superblocks aren't shared except by bind mounts and
    propagation.  Cell root volumes can then be mounted by referring to them by
    name, e.g.:
    
            ls /afs/grand.central.org/
            ls /afs/.grand.central.org/
    
    The kernel will upcall to consult the DNS if the address wasn't supplied
    directly.

+============
+DYNAMIC ROOT
+============
+
+A mount option is available to create a serverless mount that is only usable
+for dynamic lookup.  Creating such a mount can be done by, for example:
+
+	mount -t afs none /afs -o dyn
+
+This creates a mount that just has an empty directory at the root.  Attempting
+to look up a name in this directory will cause a mountpoint to be created that
+looks up a cell of the same name, for example:
+
+	ls /afs/grand.central.org/
