There is a bug.   Something in the record processing.
Either Rob or Adam mentioned it recently (probably both!).
But otherwise it does work.   I use it myself.   I don't get
"tainted" anymore from CMS FS,  but do from other modules.

cmsfsvfs.c should wind up being a sym-link to either
cmsfs22x.c or cmsfs24x.c.   The kernel changed so much
between 2.2 and 2.4 that it became unwieldy to have just one
driver source file.   (Unless the group expresses great delight
in proliferation of #ifdef.)   ;-)   So you can modify cmsfs24x.c
directly or modify it indirectly as cmsfsvfs.c,  after config.
