Sure, makes sense.
But we might decide we want separate processes for servicing MOUNT
requests and export upcalls anyway.
In which case, call one rpc.mountd, the other nfsd-cache-helper, don't
bother running "rpc.mountd" in the v4-only case, and, yay, we never have
to answer the "why do I still have to run rpc.mountd?" question again.
I dunno.
