Not sure how Fedora packages cifs vfs (my Fedora system is at home) but 
probably is a module. Check:
        /sbin/lsmod | grep "cifs"
If it is a module then you only have to build the cifs module.  cifs vfs 
is not invasive (since it was first added cifs vfs has not required kernel 
coreq changes outside of the vfs module itself so did not typically 
require rebuilding the core kernel just the module - there are not global 
kernel changes in the more recent version of the cifs vfs that would 
prevent its use on your kernel but there are known bugs when oplock is 
disabled that are being worked)
