Mount notes

• Scalable mounting (more efficient use of network resources; mountd connection caching)
• Rewrite nfs(5)
• Real unit testing
• Useful error reporting
• Complete internationalization
• Proper implementation of break-back retries
• Support for IPv6
• Support for server failover options
• Testing of -o remount

NFS client build testing notes

Rebuild the NFS server and client XDR layer from the ground up

• More complete type checking and error reporting
• Each function called with a simplified virtual API
• All functions re-entrant so we can remove the BKL

Construct productized performance tools based on /proc/self/mounstats
