cifs: create a new Documentation/ directory and move docfiles into it

Currently, we have a number of documentation files that live under
fs/cifs/. Generally, these don't get picked up by distro packagers,
since they're in a non-standard location. Move them to a new spot
under Documentation/ instead.

-A Partial List of Missing Features
-==================================
-
-Contributions are welcome.  There are plenty of opportunities
-for visible, important contributions to this module.  Here
-is a partial list of the known problems and missing features:
-
-a) Support for SecurityDescriptors(Windows/CIFS ACLs) for chmod/chgrp/chown
-so that these operations can be supported to Windows servers
-
-b) Mapping POSIX ACLs (and eventually NFSv4 ACLs) to CIFS
-SecurityDescriptors
-
-c) Better pam/winbind integration (e.g. to handle uid mapping
-better)
-
-d) Cleanup now unneeded SessSetup code in
-fs/cifs/connect.c and add back in NTLMSSP code if any servers
-need it
-
-e) fix NTLMv2 signing when two mounts with different users to same
-server.
-
-f) Directory entry caching relies on a 1 second timer, rather than 
-using FindNotify or equivalent.  - (started)
-
-g) quota support (needs minor kernel change since quota calls
-to make it to network filesystems or deviceless filesystems)
-
-h) investigate sync behavior (including syncpage) and check  
-for proper behavior of intr/nointr
-
-i) improve support for very old servers (OS/2 and Win9x for example)
-Including support for changing the time remotely (utimes command).
-
-j) hook lower into the sockets api (as NFS/SunRPC does) to avoid the
-extra copy in/out of the socket buffers in some cases.
-
-k) Better optimize open (and pathbased setfilesize) to reduce the
-oplock breaks coming from windows srv.  Piggyback identical file
-opens on top of each other by incrementing reference count rather
-than resending (helps reduce server resource utilization and avoid
-spurious oplock breaks).
-
-l) Improve performance of readpages by sending more than one read
-at a time when 8 pages or more are requested. In conjuntion
-add support for async_cifs_readpages.
-
-m) Add support for storing symlink info to Windows servers 
-in the Extended Attribute format their SFU clients would recognize.
-
-n) Finish fcntl D_NOTIFY support so kde and gnome file list windows
-will autorefresh (partially complete by Asser). Needs minor kernel
-vfs change to support removing D_NOTIFY on a file.   
-
-o) Add GUI tool to configure /proc/fs/cifs settings and for display of
-the CIFS statistics (started)
-
-p) implement support for security and trusted categories of xattrs
-(requires minor protocol extension) to enable better support for SELINUX
-
-q) Implement O_DIRECT flag on open (already supported on mount)
-
-r) Create UID mapping facility so server UIDs can be mapped on a per
-mount or a per server basis to client UIDs or nobody if no mapping
-exists.  This is helpful when Unix extensions are negotiated to
-allow better permission checking when UIDs differ on the server
-and client.  Add new protocol request to the CIFS protocol 
-standard for asking the server for the corresponding name of a
-particular uid.
-
-s) Add support for CIFS Unix and also the newer POSIX extensions to the
-server side for Samba 4.
-
-t) In support for OS/2 (LANMAN 1.2 and LANMAN2.1 based SMB servers) 
-need to add ability to set time to server (utimes command)
-
-u) DOS attrs - returned as pseudo-xattr in Samba format (check VFAT and NTFS for this too)
-
-v) mount check for unmatched uids
-
-w) Add support for new vfs entry point for fallocate
-
-x) Fix Samba 3 server to handle Linux kernel aio so dbench with lots of 
-processes can proceed better in parallel (on the server)
-
-y) Fix Samba 3 to handle reads/writes over 127K (and remove the cifs mount
-restriction of wsize max being 127K) 
-
-KNOWN BUGS (updated April 24, 2007)
-====================================
-See http://bugzilla.samba.org - search on product "CifsVFS" for
-current bug list.
-
-1) existing symbolic links (Windows reparse points) are recognized but
-can not be created remotely. They are implemented for Samba and those that
-support the CIFS Unix extensions, although earlier versions of Samba
-overly restrict the pathnames.
-2) follow_link and readdir code does not follow dfs junctions
-but recognizes them
-3) create of new files to FAT partitions on Windows servers can
-succeed but still return access denied (appears to be Windows 
-server not cifs client problem) and has not been reproduced recently.
-NTFS partitions do not have this problem.
-4) Unix/POSIX capabilities are reset after reconnection, and affect
-a few fields in the tree connection but we do do not know which
-superblocks to apply these changes to.  We should probably walk
-the list of superblocks to set these.  Also need to check the
-flags on the second mount to the same share, and see if we
-can do the same trick that NFS does to remount duplicate shares.
-
-Misc testing to do
-==================
-1) check out max path names and max path name components against various server
-types. Try nested symlinks (8 deep). Return max path name in stat -f information
-
-2) Modify file portion of ltp so it can run against a mounted network
-share and run it against cifs vfs in automated fashion.
-
-3) Additional performance testing and optimization using iozone and similar - 
-there are some easy changes that can be done to parallelize sequential writes,
-and when signing is disabled to request larger read sizes (larger than 
-negotiated size) and send larger write sizes to modern servers.
-
-4) More exhaustively test against less common servers.  More testing
-against Windows 9x, Windows ME servers.
