+ * the product.  Hence the "ascii-ci" casefolding code could be encoded into
+ * the XFS directory operations and remove all the overhead of casefolding from
+ * Samba.
+ *
+ * To provide consistent hashing behavior between the userspace and kernel,
+ * these functions prepare names for hashing by transforming specific bytes
+ * to other bytes.  Robustness with other encodings is not guaranteed.
