The networking tree would still have to take the afs and crypto bits in order
to take the rxrpc bits so that the code compiles.  Unfortunately, the rxrpc
bits depend on the other two.

If you're okay with the rxrpc bits not going through the networking tree and
if Herbert is okay with the krb5 library not going through the crypto tree, I
can try pushing the whole lot through the filesystem tree.
