I've duplicated the EAGAIN and other hang with the sunrpc code. A dump of
a hang is most revealing. Once I saw "-2684 bytes left" it became obvious

The actual problem is that the tcp nfs code was never actually finished. It
just pretends to be. When it writes a partial buffer it gets stuck resending
all of it and breaks in style.

I've got some test code to mend that now

The second item I've squashed is the fact that ^C doesnt work on hard,intr
mounts. DaveM's reason for it being the way it is didn't actually hold
water when I looked at the code. I've got patches for the nfs wait on page
as well so that it becomes killable as it should be.

I'll post some more patches for people to test soon
