We've had a request recently to allow cifs.upcall to use AD-style

Simo his opinion on how best to pick a service principal for a given
hostname. His suggestion was:

        INPUT: fooo
        TRY in order:
                FOOO$@REALM
                cifs/fooo.<guessed domain ?>@REALM
                host/fooo.<guessed domain ?>@REALM

        INPUT: bar.example.com
        TRY in order:
                cifs/bar.example.com@REALM
                BAR$@REALM
                host/bar.example.com@REALM

This patchset attempts to embody that logic.

Suggestions welcome. Those reviewing it, please pay particular attention
to the scheme for guessing a domain name. I want to make certain that
we're not opening up any security holes with that scheme.

Jeff, you have to pay attention to DFS volumes.
IE. if I want to mount //mydomain.corp/sysvol you will never get a ticket for cifs/mydomain.corp@REALM instead you need to locate with trans2 calls (for smb1, I don't remember the name for smb2) the domain controlers (DC) that could provide you the share. For sysvol it's still quite simple but you can have other DFS volume that are not stored on DC, would be great to have DFS awareness in the cifs client.
