SMB1.0 was deprecated a long time ago. The code is very old, fragile and has fragile bufferhandling. There is no support or maintenacne of this dialect since a long time. Additionally, the protocol is much less rich than SMB2 and and has semantic differences which leads to unreasonable maintenance burdens. Examples are: Rename ontop of an open file that has Delete-on-close set. Compounding support, encryption support. Warn that this protocol version is deprecated and will be removed from cifs.ko in 12 months time.
