    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.
