[RFC PATCH 0/7] SUNRPC: Create sysfs files for changing IP

[schumaker.anna@gmail.com]

From: Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@Netapp.com>

It's possible for an NFS server to go down but come back up with a
different IP address. These patches provide a way for administrators to
handle this issue by providing a new IP address for xprt sockets to
connect to.

This is a first draft of the code, so any thoughts or suggestions would
be greatly appreciated!
