Driver interface to mount an smb share

Is it possible to mount a samba share with this driver interface?

I have implemented a crude cifs/smb client on my chickHEN PSP and planned to create a file manager for going through the share. Then i was browsing through the PSP sdk docs and found this driver interface.

I know the driver funcs needs to be implemented but if I can, I am assuming any file manager can browse through the share through the mounted device?
 
Yes you can implement it such that its mountable it as a regular drive on the PSP. They're usually mounted as host0:/ and any application that is coded to access host0:/ can browse it just like the memory stick or UMD.

You can also map it to ms0:/ and the XMB will see it as a memory stick and you can play music and videos and stuff off it. Even load games off it with some extra work.

There are already such implementations for usbhostfs/nethostfs which you can refer to and then update it for CIFS/SMB.
