Following is a patch which includes two new mount flags:

one for optional disabling (via new mount flag) of cifs client side 
vfs_permission check and also optional (off by default) setting of 
uid/gid on newly created files from client euid/egid.  Also includes the 
mknod fix (so default is that uid/gid is -1 unless that parm is on)

Patch is at:

Let me know if someone thinks this is a bad idea (although since they 
are optional they should be a no op for most people, and they do solve 
some uid/gid problems people have run into).
