Huh. The simple mount hits it every time for me. I'll investigate some
more.

It's blocked forever as far as I can tell. I'll get a sysrq-t trace.

NFSv4 uses a temporary private namespace to look up the initial mount
path--see c02d7adf8c5429727a98bad1d039bccad4c61c50 and preceding commits
for explanation. So this may well be normal (but I haven't looked at it
closely).
Hm, my mount path has a mountpoint in it--if sauron:/home/dedekind/
doesn't, then that's a difference between our setups.

Maybe you only hit that if you do headers_install or headers_check?
