Windows 7 server doesn't response to packets after some time running
dbench. Also, I even can't ping google.com from this Windows machine.
It seems that everything ok with dbench and Linux machine.

So, it looks like Windows server problem on my configuration but of
course seems very strage. I will try this patch with Samba server
further.

This patch doesn't break things with Windows untill we use multicredit
requests (more than 64K, that are not targeted to 3.6 kernel). But I
am going to target multicredit requests feature for 3.7. May be we
should make cork/nodelay switchable? Or just merge the patchset
without this patch for 3.6 and delay this patch for 3.7 - we will have
much time to investigate this strange behavior?

Thoughts?
