[linux-cifs-client] cifs version 1.26 test version for 2.6.8 or later kernels

[Gorazd Golob]

Hi!

I'm having some problems during intensive read tests on w2k share with
this particular patch. All read operations (about 20 threads at a time)
stale and I got msgs (in a next moment starts working normal. I will try
to get DebugData and Stats in this moment)..
