This field was globally added to the kernel for proper nanosecond time
rounding (presumably it was added just after 2.6.10).  The RHEL4 version of
the cifs code (which handles 2.6.8/2.6.9 kernels) should be fine and does
not depend on this field, although I have not tried it personally on 2.6.10

I don't spend much time on the webpages, but must have broken a few links
when I added the two new child html pages, but I will scan through and try
to find and fix any broken links.  Check back tomorrow and let me know if
you see any broken links that I have not addresed.
