IPv6 support was started a few years ago in the cifs client, but lacked a kernel helper function for parsing the ascii form of the ipv6 address. Now that that is added (and now IPv6 is the default that some OS use now) it was fairly easy to finish the cifs ipv6 support. This requires that CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL be enabled and (at least until the mount.cifs module is modified to use a new ipv6 friendly call instead of gethostbyname) and the ipv6 address be passed on the mount as "ip=" mount option.
