Yeah, those are the most common ones.
Eventually, I think we'd want to add some of the other, more obscure
settings to rpc.nfsd as well (max_block_size, max_connections, etc). We
might want to think about how to subsume the pool_threads handling into
that too. Those can be done in a later phase though, once the core
functionality has been converted.
If we're going to go all-in on netlink, then a long-term goal ought to
be to deprecate /proc/fs/nfsd altogether. Unfortunately, we won't be
able to do that for a _long_ time (years), but I think this is a
reasonable start.
