+ * This is the new flexible, extensible style NFSv2/v3 file handle.
+ * by Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> - March 2000
+ *
+ * The file handle is seens as a list of 4byte words.
+ * The first word contains a version number (1) and four descriptor bytes
+ * that tell how the remaining 3 variable length fields should be handled.
+ * These three bytes are auth_type, fsid_type and fileid_type.
+ *
+ * All 4byte values are in host-byte-order.
+ *
+ * The auth_type field specifies how the filehandle can be authenticated
+ * This might allow a file to be confirmed to be in a writable part of a
+ * filetree without checking the path from it upto the root.
+ * Current values:
+ *     0  - No authentication.  fb_auth is 0 bytes long
+ * Possible future values:
+ *     1  - 4 bytes taken from MD5 hash of the remainer of the file handle
+ *          prefixed by a secret and with the important export flags.
+ *
+ * The fsid_type identifies how the filesystem (or export point) is
+ *    encoded.
+ *  Current values:
+ *     0  - 4 byte device id (ms-2-bytes major, ls-2-bytes minor), 4byte inode number
+ *        NOTE: we cannot use the kdev_t device id value, because kdev_t.h
+ *              says we mustn't.  We must break it up and reassemble.
+ *     1  - 4 byte user specified identifier
+ *     2  - 4 byte major, 4 byte minor, 4 byte inode number - DEPRECATED
+ *     3  - 4 byte device id, encoded for user-space, 4 byte inode number
+ *
+ * The fileid_type identified how the file within the filesystem is encoded.
+ * This is (will be) passed to, and set by, the underlying filesystem if it supports
+ * filehandle operations.  The filesystem must not use the value '0' or '0xff' and may
+ * only use the values 1 and 2 as defined below:
+ *  Current values:
+ *    0   - The root, or export point, of the filesystem.  fb_fileid is 0 bytes.
+ *    1   - 32bit inode number, 32 bit generation number.
+ *    2   - 32bit inode number, 32 bit generation number, 32 bit parent directory inode number.
