smbfs was the first and only way to copy files from Windows host into 
coLinux Guest before cofs and initrd was usabel.

After cofs is working, we use cofs to install all the other kernel 
modules, and nobody has changed the smbfs to module.  I'm not shure, 
perhaps some peoples with installing a new distri use smbfs for copying 
files?  Would no risk to break this way.

Is it ok to change it as module?
What other modules are missed?
For sample some of NLS?
We can change something all in the devel version.
