Include references to NFSv4.2 and associated RFCs.
Also clarify when a Linux client needs to set vfs.nfsd.flexlinuxhack if
a pNFS server is in use.

Specifically, this allows (via "-V vhostname") telling nfsd what principal
to use, instead of the hostname. This is used at iXsystems for fail-over in
HA systems.

r336795 adds support for handling of IPv6 addresses returned by getaddrinfo(3)
for DS hostnames. This updates the man page for this change.
This is a content change.
r335871 added support for an optional suffix of "#mds_path" that can be
applied to each entry in the "-p" option argument. This specifies that
the DS should be used to store files for the file system on the MDS
at "mds_path".
This patch documents this optional suffix.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

This includes the addition of a new flag "-4" that will force
use of the experimental server with nfsv4 support in it. This
commit also adds two new man pages to the repository that are
NFSv4 specific. One describes the file used by the server to
restart nfsv4 services safely. The other is a brief overview
of nfsv4 and its setup.

bugs fixed along the way.
Bring in required TLI library routines to support this.
Since we don't support TLI we've essentially copied what NetBSD
has done, adding a thin layer to emulate direct the TLI calls
into BSD socket calls.
This is mostly from Sun's tirpc release that was made in 1994,
however some fixes were backported from the 1999 release (supposedly
only made available after this porting effort was underway).
The submitter has agreed to continue on and bring us up to the
1999 release.
Several key features are introduced with this update:
Client calls are thread safe. (1999 code has server side thread
safe)
Updated, a more modern interface.
Many userland updates were done to bring the code up to par with
the recent RPC API.
There is an update to the pthreads library, a function
pthread_main_np() was added to emulate a function of Sun's threads
library.
While we're at it, bring in NetBSD's lockd, it's been far too
long of a wait.
New rpcbind(8) replaces portmap(8) (supporting communication over
an authenticated Unix-domain socket, and by default only allowing
set and unset requests over that channel). It's much more secure
than the old portmapper.
Umount(8), mountd(8), mount_nfs(8), nfsd(8) have also been upgraded
to support TI-RPC and to support IPV6.
Umount(8) is also fixed to unmount pathnames longer than 80 chars,
which are currently truncated by the Kernel statfs structure.

The version 2 support has been tested (client+server) against FreeBSD-2.0,
IRIX 5.3 and FreeBSD-current (using a loopback mount). The version 2 support
is stable AFAIK.
The version 3 support has been tested with a loopback mount and minimally
against an IRIX 5.3 server. It needs more testing and may have problems.
I have patched amd to support the new variable length filehandles although
it will still only use version 2 of the protocol.
Before booting a kernel with these changes, nfs clients will need to at least
build and install /usr/sbin/mount_nfs. Servers will need to build and
install /usr/sbin/mountd.
NFS diskless support is untested.
