In our offline discussion, Bruce convinced me that we should just
treat all the directories under the rpc_pipefs directory as equal, and
process any clnt directories that show up within them.  (This
currently includes, "lockd  mount  nfs  nfsd4_cb  portmap  statd".)
Any new directories appearing in the future will automatically get the
same treatment.

Steve, I don't know what you might have already done with these
patches.  Would you prefer a replacement for this patch, or patch on
top of this?
