No, because there's no "mount_root_nfs()" - hence I thought you've meant an older kernel and tried a work around - sorry for that.
Now I think you meant "mount_nfs_root()" and wrote the wrapper you've mentioned:

I've used no while(true) because VFS tries to mount from floppy if NFS wasn't successful.
That's the patch:
