[cifs:for-next 7/9] fs/cifs/file.c:3203:7-14: WARNING: Unsigned expression compared with zero: cur_len < 0 (fwd)

ok - merged the two patches into one and pushed to cifs-2.6.git
for-next.  Should be ok now.  Let me know if you see any additional
problems, and also when additional performance data available so we
get a rough idea of how much this improves over current code.
