Just so nobody duplicates the work by accident, I've started merging the
Olaf NFS v3 patches into the main tree. Firstly because it has some rpc
scheduling fixes I want to eliminate from the 'NFS/tcp' mystery and
secondly because I benched the new code versus the old using a 2.1.74 kernel
and current 2.1.126 - the .74 setup is 3 times as fast 8)

So far I have rpc updated, most of the include stuff sorted and the lock daemons
Im now patching together the fs/nfs changed bit by bit to keep the dentry
stuff from current with the NFS side work from Olaf.

I don't think its as big a job as Olaf implied - the NFS code is fairly
modular and the changes made over time are clean and clear. Having said that
I think I'm now going to go out and get drunk
