I made modifications to the patch to make the name of the
host name resolution function more generic and to fix some includes
and to remove a build warning.  See attached.

Unless there are objections, I plan to check into the cifs develpment tree.
It should be fairly easy to move just this set of functions to a
different (non-cifs
specific) module if nfs ever needs host name resolution to ip addresses.
