Why do you need to change the clients? I needed to restart them - the NFS
filehandles were different with knfsd - but nothing else needed to change.

The only thing I had to do on the clients was start rpc.statd to get file
locking, which wasn't used before.

As far as I can tell, knfsd with HJ's patch set is now fit for use as a
drop-in replacement for unfsd. It's just a shame it's so broken in Linus'
kernels, that's all.
