As of version 1.5, the keyutils package is shipping a generic dns_resolver upcall. Add a note to the cifs.upcall manpage that mentions this and recommends the use of that program over cifs.upcall. Eventually, we may want to be able to conditionally compile out the dns_resolver part of the upcall, but it's already pretty small and wouldn't save us very much.
