Well, credential references are manipulated by at least the NFS and SMBfs code, but I haven't really looked into much more detail. I haven't figured out the byte order issues, but it may be this has different effects on different platforms. I'd just give a general note of caution. I think having the cr_ref updating in -STABLE is great, we just need to be careful.
