Ok. I count 3 missing patches, actually...

[CIFS] spin off cifs_setattr with unix extensions to its own function
[CIFS] move file time and dos attribute setting logic into new function
[CIFS] turn cifs_setattr into a multiplexor that calls the correct function

Let me know if it looks like the bad cp -p behavior you're seeing is
due to any of the patches already committed...
