[linux-cifs-client] enabling mapchars from NTFS share server

[Jeff Weber]

It appears the NTFS network share I need to use does not support the
mapchars client option.  I suspect the option caveat "... This has no
effect if the server does not  support  Unicode  on  the wire." is true.

Here's the DebugData:
~ <8> cat /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData

What request can I make to the Windows Sysadmin such that the cifs
client mapchars option will work?
