Hi Trond-
I proposed a new mount option called "resvport" a few months back to make sure
that the NFS client has a mechanism for using unprivileged source ports that
doesn't break other in-kernel RPC consumers.
Here's a patch set that implements "resvport" that could be merged in 2.6.29.
It may require some of my earlier patches to apply cleanly to 2.6.28-rc3, but
this should give you enough of an idea how I'm approaching this so far.
