Subject: Duplicate unicode tables in smb/cifs/jfs

Hi All,
  I just tripped over three sets of duplicated unicode tables and
wondered if anyone had tried to rationalise them:

  The pair of:
   ./fs/smb/server/uniupr.h
   ./fs/smb/client/cifs_uniupr.h

   are identical except for formatting.

./fs/jfs/jfs_uniupr.c,
  and I think this is the same with some change in variable name.

(I'm guessing the same thing is implemented in a bunch of
other places as well in a different way)

Would it make sense to swing fs/smb/server/uniupr.h up to
hmm, maybe fs/uniupr.h, remove any of the cifs_ prefixes
and then use the same include in all 3 places?

Maybe then later look at using some of the nls code?

Dave (who just tripped over this stuff)
