Maxime Henrion 56cb1e8cca Re-add the code to automatically load the smbfs.ko module if necessary. We can't realy on the mount(2) system call to do it for us here because smb_lib_init() needs the module and we call it before mount(). The old code has been slightly modified to not use the getvfsent(3) API which is now retired. Noticed by: many		2004-06-20 14:30:33 +00:00
