AFS currently uses folio->private to store the range of bytes within a folio that have been modified - the idea being that if we have, say, a 2MiB folio and someone writes a single byte, we only have to write back that single page and not the whole 2MiB folio - thereby saving on network bandwidth. Remove this, at least for now, and accept the extra network load (which doesn't matter in the common case of writing a whole file at a time from beginning to end). This makes folio->private available for netfslib to use.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
