Is there a reason this change was made?  And is there a reason why
NETSMBCRYPTO is not in GENERIC?  To me, it seems that breaking smbfs
between releases within 6.x violates POLA... I suspect a large number of
people (myself included) have always used smbfs for passworded shares
and it's "just worked".

Moved to stable, where it belongs.
