+ the nfs-related code to improve look-ups.Full file operations
+ (read/write) over NFS is supported but with cache eviction
+ at NFS server, this could result in ESTALE issues.

+ limited_stable:This options makes NFS support for FAT as
+ read-only and provides stable inode based on the on-disk
+ location of the MS-DOS directory entry.This helps in
+ reconstruction of the inodes in case of lookup failure,
+ making FAT behaviour stable with respect to ESTALE issues.
