I think we can still do that by having the kernel simply not report
that version. You'll note that -V4.x and -N4.x are allowed whether or
not the kernel is reporting a version 'x' in /proc/fs/nfsd/versions.

IOW: if you want to make the version not appear by default because it
is unstable, then you probably don't want it to appear when the user
does '+V4' either so you might as well hide it in
/proc/fs/nfsd/versions too.

For the record, this patch is not one that I'm too attached to, so it
can be dropped if deemed too controversial.
