I'm taking NFS helpers to libfs.c and switching ncpfs to them. IMO that's
better than copying the damn thing and other network filesystems might have

[something like this - completely untested]
* stray_page_get_link(inode, filler) - returns ERR_PTR(error) or pointer
to symlink body. Said symlink body sits in a page at offset equal to
offsetof(page, struct stray_page_link). filler() is expected to put it
at such offset. Page is cached.
* stray_page_put_link() - ->put_link() suitable for links obtained from
stray_page_get_link(). Unlike the usual pagecache-based variants, this
sucker does _not_ rely on page staying cached.
* nfs and ncpfs switched to the helpers above.
