I guess we could build it in but I figured an export option allowed
someone to turn off security labeling support if they didn't want it
on that export. What happens to clients when the server returns a
cap that they don't support? Do they mask the bits out?

Yeah, they should just ignore it.

While this is still experimental it's still nice to have a way to turn
this on and off at runtime so people can experiment without having to
have it on for everyone all the time. But nfsd_supported_minorversion
should be sufficient for that.

(I don't think your patches actually dealt yet with the fact that this
is part of minor version 2?  Another for the todo list.)

Hmm... I'll have to look at the patches again to find out. Its been so long since I worked on these full time that I have to go back and check quite a bit. Luckily since i put the tree up for Trond last night I should be able to look at them while at work.
