My preference would be to fall through.  The case number is the state machine
state, as indexed by call->unmarshall.  All the other cases in the switch fall
through.

I would also generally prefer that the fallthrough statement occur before the
blank line, not after it, since it belongs with the previous clause, and not
between a comment about a case statement and its associated case statement,
i.e.:

		afs_extract_to_tmp(call);
		call->unmarshall++;

		/* extract the callback array and its count in two steps */
		fallthrough;
	case 3:

would be better written as:

		afs_extract_to_tmp(call);
		call->unmarshall++;
		fallthrough;

		/* extract the callback array and its count in two steps */
	case 3:
