I'd prefer that that warning get fixed by having Steve commit the last
patch in that series. That patch changes cifs_convert_address to
temporarily add termination to the middle of the src string so the
"const" qualifier will have to go. Until then though, the warning is
harmless since this version of cifs_convert_address doesn't actually
change src.
