how things are done in the kernel. Users will hate us if we make them
read the fine print at the bottom of the nfs(5) manual page :)
Whether it ends up calling mount.nfs4 when it finds the server supports
NFSv4, or whether that logic is built into mount.nfs itself is probably
a matter of what works better for NFSv4 developers. As I said, I'm happy
to accept patches...
