You're in the wrong place :-). You should be here
at the SambaXP conference where Michael and Metze
are in the middle of their talk describing how we
are planning to do this :-).

Short answer - no currently shipping production
releases (Microsoft Windows included) currently
support SMB3 (it'll be in Windows8). We're planning
to implement it inside Samba over the next year
or so.
