>Description:
The kernel-side libiconv currently used cannot convert unicode characters to UTF-8 which are longer than 2 bytes due to the lack of general encoding
converter. This patch adds a new converter for encoding UCS-2 and UTF-8, but can easily extend to cover all general encodings.

>How-To-Repeat:
Mount a NTFS partition that has Chinese filenames under UTF-8.
