I'd say this is just the opposite direction of where things seem to be 
going nowadays.

AFAICS, the current solution to this problem is to use initrd / 
initramfs with a user-space dhcp client and nice script to get the DNS 
information into /etc/resolv.conf.

With this in place you can even drop the DHCP / NFS-root support from 
the kernel and have it all done in user-space.

This seems to be the current trend, and I wouldn't be surprised if the 
options for IP auto config and NFS root were dropped from mainline in 
the future.
