Feature Request: Enable KSMBD in kernel configuration

[shirok1]

Feature Description

KSMBD is a kernel-space SMB (aka the protocol to "share" folders to Windows) server, upstreamed into Linux kernel. Its user-space tool is already in Ubuntu repo, 2204 and 2404.

I think enabling it in kernel configuration can benefit those wanted to use their SBC as a NAS!

My alternatives:

• Use Samba instead, which is user-space, and may be less performant
• Build as a kmod manually
• Try to install as DKMS (I've tried this on the deprecated version of 2204 before, it needs to be reinstalled after kernel upgrade, maybe I miss-configured it)

to sth. like CONFIG_SMB_SERVER=m. Sorry I can't test it out right now.
