I needed to implement a forced unmount for NFS, that is, an unmount that
works if the server is gone. I wacked it into IRIX and I was wondering
if anyone had done it for Linux yet. Or if anyone wants/needs it?

The semantics are that all operations get ESTALE. No attempt is made to
finish up I/O, it is assumed that if you are calling this interface, you
want the file system gone now.
