Volker, the sync code path works; in fact I pushed some minor
corrections to my branch this morning. And for now using FIO I can
generate multiple clients (threads / processes).

I started working on the async features (SMB2 async read/write) for
client library the samba repo. There's a patch there for the first
step of it it there; see the other email I sent to you and Jeremy. I
was going to make sure it licensed under whatever it needs to get into
the samba repo... and since this is done on my own time I personally
don't care what license it's under provided it's not a PITA.
