From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Or your distro could just have samba installed by default.
I know, and I agree that it is a pain, however this sort of thing really doesn't belong in the kernel for most use cases
And there will likely be many distros that compile this server as a kernel module and package it separately, so even inclusion in the kernel doesn't necessarily save you from defaults that don't fit you well.
