Hi Steve,
For your illumination, here's where I'm currently at with making cifs use
netfslib more fully. I ended up delving into the realms of converting it
to use iov_iter instead of page lists and doing partial foliation.
It isn't complete yet and some of the patches don't compile, but if you
want a look at what I've been doing...
