Both :-). Back before we fixed the bug where MacOS-X violates
the SMB2 spec by chaining a open/write/close without expecting
the write to go async then setting 1024 was the "correct" thing
to do to allow Mac's to write their version of SMB2 symlinks.

Now we've fixed that bug, and it's safe to always do async
reads/writes, then setting them to 0 (always off) and 1 (always on)
is really the only two settings you need.
