Is this finally going to let one bind to a local IP address?
No this patch only checks for the validity of the arguments for the
callback channel.
I have patches to do this for years now, would love to get that
feature upstream!
Have you posted those patches to the mailing list?
Yes, several times, years ago.

My current trees are here, and the NFS patches are near the bottom of my
patch set. I am not sure we specifically tested this with 4.16 kernel yet, but
we tested it on the 4.13 kernel:

The nfs-utils-ct repo has the patches to make nfs-utils support this.
If you or anyone else would like to shepherd these into the kernel
it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben
