Well using the nfs-utils-1.0.9-pre1 tarball from kernel.org
and the recent kernel patch set you posted here is what I found.

Starting and stopping nfsds did not kill neither the
TCP or UDP connections. There were two problems with this.
One, rpc.nfsd was incorrectly increasing nfsd_serv->sv_nrthreads
in nfsd_svc() by calling nfsd_create_serv(); (Note: another side effect
of this problem was only 7 nfsd process were start instead of 8)
So the solution I've come up with is to only  have nfsd_create_serv()
called when it needs to... basically:
     if (nfsd_serv == NULL) {
         error = nfsd_create_serv();
         if (error)
             goto out;
     }

The second problem was an oops that occurred when the sv_nrthreads was
incremented correctly... and Neil your going to love this one... ;-)

In svc_delete_socket(), sock_release() was being called with a
socket that was already closed... The socket was closed by the
previous sockfd_put() when svsk->sk_sock->file != NULL... So
the code changed from
     if (svsk->sk_sock->file)
         sockfd_put(svsk->sk_sock);
     sock_release(svsk->sk_sock);
to
     if (svsk->sk_sock->file)
         sockfd_put(svsk->sk_sock);
     else
         sock_release(svsk->sk_sock);

The reason Neil is going to love this is I asked him to
make this change because in my previous testing, the only
way I could get the connections to come down was to
always call sock_release() even after the fput() of the
file pointer... So it appears in Neil's rewrite, fput()
is actually doing the release which is how it should work...

Once I got the connections to come up and down as expected, I
noticed I could not turn off any versions...

In the patches I sent Neil, I had to reverse the order of when
nfssvc_setfds() and nfssvc_versbits() were called in rpc.nfsd.
But in Neil's patch it appears nfssvc_versbits() is expect
to be called before nfssvc_setfds(). After I switching the
order of those calls... things started to work as expected..

That patches are attached....

Don't let rpc.nfsd incorrectly increase the nfsd_serv->sv_nrthreads
and stop sockets from being released twice by only calling sock_release()
on socket that don't have file pointer associated with them.

nfssvc_versbits() has to be called before nfssvc_setfds()
for the version processing to work correctly
