 - there's still all that CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL ifdefery left in
   cifsfs.c that should go into a helper
 - cifs_fs_type is made non-static but not actually used anywhere
 - dfs_info3_param still has the camelCase PathConsumed member name
 - dfs_shrink_umount_helper is called under ifdef instead of a proper
   stub
 - dns_resolve.[ch] still have the filename mentioned in the top of file
   comments
 - dns_resolve.c still has non-kerneldoc function description comments
 - dns_resolve.h still has the useless __KERNEL__ ifdef
 - the unused free_dfs_info_param function is still around
 - lots of useless and confusing braces left
 - dns_resolve_server_name_to_ip still has deeply nested conditionals
   instead of proper goto unwinding

There's a reason why we usually repost patches to the list after
addressing review comments..

and while I'm at it a lot of the non-DFS additions to cifs aren't quite
up to standards for kernel code either, lots of useless braces, wierd
coding style and ifdef mania.  What happened to the idea of running all
cifs patches past linux-fsdevel?  Also running checkpath.pl over them
might be a not too bad idea.
