Guys, I've noticed that some of you have been making noises about
cleaning up the NFS macros in current.
I strongly recommend that you not do this, at least not unless
you want to take on a man month (or two!) worth of work & debugging!
In fact, I would recommend that the NFS subsystem be left alone as much
as possible until -current is far more stable then it is. NFS issues tend
to be subtle, and unless you've been staring at the code for a year
you are likely to introduce more bugs then you fix. There's a reason why
I (Mr 'rewrite everything' Dillon) haven't touched them.
Concentrate on making the general network stack (aka TCP) and
filesystems SMP aware. Leave NFS alone for now. Please.
-Matt
