Hi Bruce,
Rebased onto your nfsd-next branch

Hi Bruce,
The following patchset is again more an FYI than a must have, but it
addresses a significant scalability problem for NFSv3 when running
over 10GigE and 40GigE networks. At one point, I was seeing >60% CPU
spinning on the DRC global spinlock...
The one thing to note is that because the statistics are moved outside
spinlocking, then their accuracy is slightly reduced (I do convert the
number of entries into an atomic, so that is still 100% correct). The
right thing to do there is probably to convert those into per-cpu
counters, however I've not had time to do so for now.
Cheers,
Trond
