Lots of stuff coming down the pipe with SMB2.2/3 as well. 
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba3/SMB2#SMB_3.0

Plus things like: File Server Remote VSS Protocol  (FSRVP) for 
snapshots.   Interesting in their wiki they actually name ZFS as an option.

I highly doubt that is going to find its way into the illumos cifs service.
