Question... How are will it be to back out of this? Meaning the

space...
Same as we do now? As soon as it doesn't work return an error, unwind
and return to userspace?
If we handle NFSv4 in nfs_get_sb(), then we can handle version/
transport negotiation entirely in the kernel, which is another long
term goal.
