P.S. I believe the fies to make cifs and p9 work already went in, and FUSE already did, but it's been a while and I'll have to retest. (I know I got 'em all to work, I _think_ all changes necessary to do so went upstream.) If you're not tied to NFS, you have several options. (Getting NFSv4 to work was a crawling horror due to its horrible overcomplicated design wanting to merge different mount points into the same superblock without even using the --bind mount mechanism, make callbacks to kernel threads and userspace with no obvious ownership rules... NFSv3 was a piece of cake in comparison, and I don't think I ever got lockd to work properly there either. Of course, other network filesystems never needed it...)
