Bug#421922: Support for NFSROOT in domU kernels

[Tom Allen <tallen@10east.com>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.20-1-xen-amd64
Version: 2.6.20-1

The options necessary for NFS root are not enabled in the kernel, and
could be easily added, I think.  With these kernel config options
enabled:

CONFIG_IP_PNP=y
CONFIG_ROOT_NFS=y
CONFIG_NFS_FS=y

We could have xen domUs with NFS roots.  Maybe another flavor could be
added, if there's resistance to building it into the kernel image, such
as -xen-nfsroot-amd64.  This would allow another method of live migration of
virtual domains, a powerful feature of xen.
