[PATCH 0/4] Add support for new upcall mechanism for nfsd

[Simo Sorce <simo@redhat.com>]

NOTE: Rebased on top of Bruce Field's for-3.5 tree.

This patchset implements a new upcall mechanism that uses the sunrpc
client to talk to gssproxy[1], a new userspace daemon to handle gssapi
operations on behalf of other processes on the system.

The main driver for this new mechanism is to overcome limitations with
the current daemon and upcall. The current code cannot handle tickets
larger than approximatively 2k and cannot handle sending back large user
credential sets to the kernel.

These patches have been tested against the development version of gssproxy
tagged as kernel_v0.1 in the master repo[2].

I have tested walking into mountpoints using tickets artificially pumped
up to 64k and the user is properly authorized, after the accept_se_context
call is performed through the new upcall mechanism and gssproxy.

The gssproxy has the potential of handling also init_sec_context calls,
but at the moment the only targeted system is nfsd.

Simo.
