I'd like to add that when I open a file on cifs in a emacs-24 Emacs 
build, and then do "touch <filename>" in the console on the server (host 
machine), Emacs still reliably detects the change.

If I do nothing, and auto-revert-mode is on, it will revert it in a few 
seconds. If I "touch" and then quickly switch to the Emacs in the VM and 
try to make a change, it also says "file changed, really edit?"
