Great! I've been waiting for something like this. In particular the knfsd TCP server code can get very buffer-intensive without it since you need to pre-allocate 1 set of buffers per TCP connection (else you get DOS due to buffer saturation when doing wait+retry for blocked sockets).
If it all gets in to the kernel, I'll do the work of adapting the NFS + sunrpc stuff.
