Why is it organised this way?  I mean, yes, technically, rxrpc is a
generic layer-6 protocol that any blah blah blah, but in practice no
other user has come up in the last 37 years, so why bother pretending
one is going to?  Just git mv net/rxrpc fs/afs/ and merge everything
through your tree.

I feel similarly about net/9p, net/sunrpc and net/ceph.  Every filesystem
comes with its own presentation layer; nobody reuses an existing one.
Just stop pretending they're separate components.
