Patch set provides ability to mount share on a server that is remote
to an actual storage (i.e. it has only referrals to a storage server)

NEEDS TESTING:
  [PATCH 3/3] [CIFS] Enable dfs submounts to handle remote referrals
   I do not have an environment to test it. To test it we need a setup like
   described in http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux-cifs-client/2009-February/004033.html
   case 2.

TODO:
 * Add ability to walk over all nodes in tree.
   (this patch walks only one branch in the tree)
 * Loop detection when walking DFS tree
