This lets one specify the source IP address for
sockets, allowing users to leverage routing rules
on multi-homed systems.

Do you need changes to send NLM requests from the right source address?

Not for my testing so far...but maybe I'm not utilizing whatever NLM
does.  What sort of things would require/use it?

File locking.  NLM support should be a requirement for a complete implementation of srcaddr=, IMO.

Ok, I think I have some patches for this already, but didn't re-add them when
breaking up the big patch for submission.  I'll set up a test case with
file locking and double-check that I have it working correctly.

Thanks,
Ben
