  Some systems have a modprobe.d/nfs.conf file that sets an nfs4 alias
  pointing to nfs.ko, rather than nfs4.ko.  This can prevent the v4 module
  from loading on mount, since the kernel sees that something named "nfs4"
  has already been loaded.  To work around this, I've renamed the modules
  to "nfsv2.ko" "nfsv3.ko" and "nfsv4.ko".

Is there no better way to do this?  We tried for years to standardize on
nfs4 rather than nfsv4.  In particular, this means the module name will no
longer be part of the names of the files used to build the module.
