The coding style followed in the solaris Shared Folders is actually the
Solaris kernel coding style from the original developer wrote it this
way, and back then it was written this way as it might end up being part
of Solaris itself.

So for the moment, please preserve this coding style for solaris shared
folders, i.e. tabs and braces.

I'll take a look at the patches you provided and get back to you
regarding them. Thanks a lot for the effort and time on this.

Regards,
Ram.
