Agreed, matching names is one of the reasons I started this work.

My thought was that the prefixed names could be fixed eventually
after the hand-rolled code has been replaced.

Include the current nfs4xdr_gen.h in nfs4.h, and then remove from
nfs4.h anything that has a naming conflict?

The downside of that is that approach mixes generated and
hand-rolled code. Not an objection from me, but it was something
that made Neil uncomfortable.

Or the client can continue to use include/linux/nfs4.h and the
server can start using its own copy of that header.
