cifs.mount: mapchars + utf8 = loop

Hello,

I'm trying to mount a smb share with both "mapchars" and
"iocharset=utf8" options and it seems to be bogus.
I must used mapchars option because some folder names contain
non-ascii characters and I must used iocharset=utf8 because some file
names contain question marks.

I have searched on the internet and found a very simple patch for a
2.6.32 kernel (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6767)

differences for me between the two misc.c files and I'm not able to
report the patch in my kernel.

Did someone have an idea ?

Thanks,
Nicolas
