+established security contexts.  fsync now sends SMB Flush operation
+to better ensure that we wait for server to write all of the data to
+server disk (not just write it over the network).  Add new mount
+parameter to allow user to disable sending the (slow) SMB flush on

+Posix file open support added (turned off after one attempt if server
+fails to support it properly, as with Samba server versions prior to 3.3.2)
+Fix "redzone overwritten" bug in cifs_put_tcon (CIFSTcon may allocate too
+little memory for the "nativeFileSystem" field returned by the server
