Thanks, that helped a lot. I was able to track this down to a
combination of statd (which I already suspected) and idmapd (which I
should have remembered from recent changes to the upstart jobs, but had
forgotten about).
Changing statd to start on virtual-filesystems, and changing idmapd to
not block the / mountpoint, gets us clear of the boot hang.
This is not a perfect fix because it means that anyone trying to do
nfsroot over nfsv4 is out of luck; but it's strictly an improvement over
the status quo, and it's been suggested that nfsroot doesn't actually
work on nfsv4, so I'll go ahead with it for now.
