I didn't look at your code yet, but I'm assuming it's a self contained

why can't we just all be friends.
I pulled it in for testing, and came up with this patch [1]. If you
don't do anything, it'll build cifs into fio as before. If you add
--cifs-external to the configure arguments, it'll build cifs.so as an
externally loadable module. You'd then use:
ioengine=/path/to/cifs.so
to use that module. I did not add an install target, I'll leave that to
distros...
Let me know how that works for you. And let me know how far along you
are with the cifs engine, I'd like to pull it in.
