VFS Layer, get_dfs_referrals calls subsequent VFS functions with a bogus connection struct but does not need to

Hi folks,
Some of you might be sick of me now ... however, we have hit another problem.
In the DFS handling code, VFS routines are called with a handle that
points to a fake connection structure (that does not contain useful
info that is on the other side.)
Now, it seems like this does not need to be the case because
vfswrap_get_dfs_referrals gets a valid handle with a valid connection
structure in it, and calls get_referred_path but does not pass on a
connection struct, so get_referred_path has to make its own.
Now, while it seems that the correct behavior for us is to implement
get_dfs_referrals in our VFS module, it seems like get_referral_path
could be passed the connection structure so that it is available
further down the line ...
Comments?
I can try to come up with a patch if no one objects.
