It's not truly necessary, but I don't see why it's important that we
keep a record of the full-blown bitmap here. The ncf_cb_bmap field is a
field in the delegation record, and it has to be carried around in
perpetuity. This value is always set by the server and there are only a
few legit bit combinations that can be set in it.

We certainly can keep this bitmap around, but as I said in the
description, the delstid draft grows this bitmap to 3 words, and if we
want to be a purists about storing a bitmap, then that will also
require us to keep the bitmap size (in another 32-bit word), since we
don't always want to set anything in the third word. That's already 24
extra bits per delegation, and we'll be adding new fields for the
timestamps in a later patch.

I don't see the benefit here.

Great. I'll rebase and re-test.

PS: I'm working on a couple of pynfs tests for CB_GETATTR as well. I'll
post them once I have them working. I've also found nfsd bugs in how we
currently proxy the attrs. I'll have patches for that in the next
posting (once my question on the IETF list is answered).
