I've also got another extension pending that I might as well get
feedback on now ...

I have a patch that lets modules attach data to a files_struct. I also
have 2 modules that use this to maintain per-fsp information. The most
useful point to add per-fsp info is in SMB_VFS_OPEN, and initially I
have replaced the file name parameter with an fsp (and made sure that
the fsp_name member is always valid). Unfortunately, this approach
doesn't work for vfs_catia, because it needs to transform the fname
without modifying the fsp.

So I think the right way to do this is to pass both fname and fsp to
SMB_VFS_NEXT. Comments?
