Not a solution, IMO. Nope, that's not an option obviously. The ioctls only exist on the Linux userspace client side. Inside cifsfs they get converted to standard SMB1/2/3 calls. I'm trying to create a way for Linux userspace to get access to these Windows/Mac/Samba features without having to completely change the VFS model to introduce the horrible Solaris semantics of opening a file as a directory to get access to internal streams.
