OK.

If I understand correctly, we could improve libsmb2 to support pipelining.
That is:
 - Add a new function that will setup the length of the read request to: size - offset
 - Add a new function that will just get any data available. This one don't have to be asynchronous since socket are non blocking, it just get whatever data is available on the socket.
