option that will be added to the nfsuserd daemon in a future
commit. It modifies the cache used by NFSv4 for name<-->id
translation (both username/uid and group/gid) to support this.
When "-manage-gids" is set, the server looks up each uid
for the RPC and uses the list of groups cached in the server
instead of the list of groups provided in the RPC request.
The cached group list is acquired for the cache by the nfsuserd
daemon via getgrouplist(3).
This avoids the 16 groups limit for the list in the RPC request.
Since the cache is now used for every RPC when "-manage-gids"
is enabled, the code also modifies the cache to use a separate
mutex for each hash list instead of a single global mutex.

No appreciable change in performance was observed after increasing
the sizes of these tables and then testing with a single client.
However, there was an email that indicated high CPU overheads for
a heavily loaded NFSv4 and it is hoped that increasing the sizes
of the hash tables via these tunables might help.
The tables remain the same size by default.

into head. The code is not believed to have any effect
on the semantics of non-NFSv4.1 server behaviour.
It is a rather large merge, but I am hoping that there will
not be any regressions for the NFS server.

on the server for the experimental nfs server. When enabled
by setting vfs.newnfs.locallocks_enable to non-zero, the
experimental nfs server will now acquire byte range locks
on the file on behalf of NFSv4 clients, such that lock
conflicts between the NFSv4 clients and processes running
locally on the server, will be recognized and handled correctly.

support for NFSv4 as well as NFSv2 and 3.
It lives in 3 subdirs under sys/fs:
nfs - functions that are common to the client and server
nfsclient - a mutation of sys/nfsclient that call generic functions
to do RPCs and handle state. As such, it retains the
buffer cache handling characteristics and vnode semantics that
are found in sys/nfsclient, for the most part.
nfsserver - the server. It includes a DRC designed specifically for
NFSv4, that is used instead of the generic DRC in sys/rpc.
The build glue will be checked in later, so at this point, it
consists of 3 new subdirs that should not affect kernel building.
