OpenAFS fileservers can return VIO (112) either during an attempt to 
load a vnode or to store a vnode. However, most IBM AFS derived cache 
managers do not explicitly handle VIO errors and pass them to the vfs to 
be interpreted as a local operating system error. For Linux that means 
EHOSTDOWN. Therefore, AuriStorFS fileservers return UAEIO instead.

Please modify this patch to handle UAEIO the same as VIO.

Thank you.
