Then may I suggest smbfs_lkm.c and smbfs_builtin.c (name needs help)?

My desire is to partition the LKM-specific and not-LKM-specific code as
much as possible. That way the main body of the code stays as environment-
agnostic as possible.

That might be a good thing to add. The recent LKM changes have helped a
lot, and we could add something like this as a further extension.

Take care,
