Why do we have to allocate an extra socket here? Can't we always assume
that the NFSACL server will listen on port 2049 (the same as the NFS
server)?

If so, we can simply clone the NFS rpc_client in order to share the
socket/security flavours/...

BTW: why does the client side NFS_ACL select QSORT? Can't userland do
all that for us?

Cheers,
Trond
