I posted my thoughts on this question as a response to another thread:

SuSE is interested in making sure that Dazuko is available on their
distribution. As far as I know, they are interested in pursuing the
redirfs/dazuko direction to maintain support for Dazuko. If you are
interested in using the SuSE kernel, then I recommend also using the
Dazuko package provided by SuSE.

I do not know why antivir would be having a problem. If the module
loads (and the example program works), then antivir should be
happy. The Dazuko interface was not changed in 2.3.6-pre2. I recommend
contacting Avira support for this issue.

The various nullfs versions were developed to support the following
kernels from kernel.org:
nullfs 0.0.1 -> Linux 2.6.21
nullfs 0.0.2 -> Linux 2.6.25
nullfs 0.0.3 -> Linux 2.6.25
nullfs 0.0.4 -> Linux 2.6.26
Although your kernel seems to be based on Linux 2.6.25, it obviously
uses a modified VFS API.
Since the new DazukoFS 3.0.0-rcX is identical to nullfs when no groups
have been added, I prefer to deal with this issue in respect to
DazukoFS and no longer work with nullfs.
