That being said, the NFS compat code was moved out of the compat mount handler and into nfs and refactored in the commit just before this one. Frank, can you double check that commit 67e306c6906137020267eb9bbdbc127034da3627 really still works, and only 028abd9222df0cf5855dab5014a5ebaf06f90565 broke your setup?
