     if remembered one is not acknowledged, consider
     channel broken and resend break request on other channel
 
+  ===========================================
+
+  - remember sent and not acked oplock break requests
+    in a list (on the smbXsrv_connection or so)
+  - for each such request, start a timer when putting
+    it into the list
+  - develop an arithmetic and a mechanism using the SIOCOUTQ
+    ioctl (checked at every I/O on the interface)
+    to detect when a packet has really left the host.
+  - if the algo says that the packet has been sent,
+    disable timer and remove it from the list.
+    ==> really?
+        what about 'left the host' vs. 'ack has been received'?
+  - if oplock break reply arrives, disable timer and remove
+    pkt from list.
+  - if timer expires, consider channel broken and
+    resend break on other channel
