+AD4- Load auth+AF8-rpcgss.ko only when rpc.gssd has been started.  See the +ACIAWw-PATCH+AF0- Adding the nfs4+AF8-secure+AF8-mounts bool+ACI- thread... If auth+AF8-rpcgss.ko is not loaded, the kernel won't ever try to do an upcall.

+AD4- Then, systemd can be used to restart rpc.gssd if it crashes, maybe?  Just a thought.

You can trivially defeat that by compiling the gss code into the kernel.
