Ok., get the patch from the list and apply it
to /usr/src/linux-vserver/fs/cifs/connect.c (or whatever you kernel source
path is).

Recompile the kernel and/or modules (if cifs is a module). be sure to load the
newly compiled module ;-)

Boot the host into the new kernel or just un/load the cifs module.

Set the ccaps of a guest to binary_mount and secure_mount.

Restart the guest.

Enter the guest and do a

mount.cifs '\\windowsserver\share' /mnt/test -o
user=windowsusername,pass=password

inside the guest.

That's all.
Now you can use cifs-mounts inside a guest (like nfs-mounts).
