Patches in apply order:

add_recall_offline_vfs_func.patch
=================================
    Add new RECALL_OFFLINE vfs function

    To be used for recalling files migrated to offline storage by a Hierarchical
    Storage Management system.

support_setupcount_nttrans.patch
================================
    Support Setup[SetupCount] values in nttrans response packets

    send_nt_replies currently sets SetupCount to zero, however some packets
    require different values. When testing FSCTL_RECALL_FILE, Windows XPsp2
    was observed dropping connections where SetupCount was not one in the server
    response.

    The SNIA CIFS documentation also describes NT_TRANSACT_IOCTL server response
    packets as having a SetupCount of 1.

add_fsctl_recall_file_support.patch
===================================
    FSCTL_RECALL_FILE can be used to recall files moved offline by hierarchical
    storage management software.

    The nttrans ioctl packet is handled in the following steps:
    - check for FILE_SUPPORTS_REMOTE_STORAGE, if without, return error
    - return error if attempting to recall a directory.
    - if SMB_VFS_IS_OFFLINE() is false return success immediately
    - otherwise, call SMB_VFS_RECALL_OFFLINE() to recall the file
