Shirish - below is a patch to fix a sparse warning in the cifsacl
code.  The change around line 458 is cosmetic (doesn't look like the
original code caused a problem but at least this quiets sparse) but
doesn't sid_authusers have an endian error.   How far back does this
bug go - does it affect much?
