I think Tom's changelog is misleading.  The problem is that the RDMA
transport actually does support IPv6, but it doesn't support the
IPV6ONLY option yet.  So if NFS/RDMA binds to a port for IPv4, then the
IPv6 bind fails because of the port collision.

Implementing the IPV6ONLY option for RDMA binding is probably not
feasible for 2.6.34, so the best band-aid for now seems to be Tom's
patch.
