NFS client patches for Linux 2.6.6

The following set of patches fix known issues with the 2.6.6 NFS client code, and significantly enhance the support for NFSv4.

linux-2.6.6-01-soft.dif:

RPC: Make "major" timeouts be of fixed length "timeo<<retrans" rather than counting the number of retransmissions. The clock starts at the first attempt to send each request.

RPC: Ensure that we "slow start" the RTT estimation after a major timeout has occurred.

linux-2.6.6-02-fix_nfsroot.dif:

NFSROOT: Fix a bug in the parser.

NFSROOT: Add support for missing standard mount options.

linux-2.6.6-03-printk_cleanup.dif:

RPCSEC_GSS: this adds some new trace messages and makes existing ones consistent with other trace messages in the RPC client.

linux-2.6.6-04-setclientid.dif:

NFSv4: Prime SETCLIENTID call for the delegation callback info.

linux-2.6.6-05-rpc_workqueue.dif:

RPC: Convert rpciod into a work queue for greater flexibility.

linux-2.6.6-06-rpc_queue_lock.dif:

RPC: Remove the rpc_queue_lock global spinlock. Replace it with per-rpc_queue spinlocks

linux-2.6.6-07-file_ctx.dif:

NFSv2/v3/v4: Place NFS nfs_page shared data into a single structure that hangs off filp->private_data. As a side effect, this also cleans up the NFSv4 private file state info.

linux-2.6.6-08-file_ctx2.dif:

NFSv4: More cleanups of the NFSv4 state.

linux-2.6.6-09-delegation1.dif:

NFSv4: Basic code for managing delegation state.

linux-2.6.6-10-delegation2.dif:

NFSv4: Delegation callback server.

linux-2.6.6-NFS4_ALL.dif:

All of the above patches rolled into one.
