Oooooh... pet peeve alert!
A couple of years ago (yes, years) I submitted a bug which was closed
at the time because upstream won't apply these patches.
It's a major PITA... if you forget to patch the kernel, wham!
Misterious NFS problems.

The kernel patch is at http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/
