Yes, it is exactly that. There is a port of that function into 
wineserver in server/token.c called map_generic_mask that I used for the 
purpose of mapping generic access rights in the token functions. The 
problem with translating from generic access rights is that they don't 
map onto Unix access rights very well. I suspect that the best solution 
is to request read access if any of the NT read rights are requested and 
similarly for the write rights.
