Charset2upper is broken, at least for utf8 (see line 41 of nls_utf8.c)
Seems straightforward to fix it for the key characters a-z (0x61-0x7a),
unless the uppercasing rules are stranger than I think - especially
since other places have it right e.g. nls_base.c seems to have it right
in its charset2upper.

Don't use UTF-8. Neither the kernel nor userspace is fully ready.
Also, it seems wrong to put such comples thing as a complete UNICODE upper/lower
case mapping into the kernel, especially since this mapping is different for
Turkish and non-Turkish cases (see
http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/turkish-i18n.html). So someone should convert all
filesystems that use character conversion and case mapping to FUSE, so that they
can use glibc to do all of this dirty/complex work.
