Hi Steve,
   Working on porting this to RHEL5. Since it's a stable kernel, we don't have
CONFIG_CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL enabled. Because everything in export.c is #ifdef'ed
out, an export.o isn't built, and the build fails. The following patch worked
around it, but I'm not sure it's the best way to handle this.
