Danged if you aren't right. The source code is all there but they have
hpfs turned off in the kernel .config file. You would have to change the
.config to m or y for hpfs and recompile to get hpfs support. This seems
contrary to RH modus operandi where everything is available as a module.
Perhaps this is just one that slipped through the QA cracks.
