The problem I saw with the this patch was it would take 
a code change to re-enable the 4.1 functional, verses a
enabling a configuration flag. Plus, there has been a 
precedence set of having these types of configuration flags,
note the enable_nfsv3, enable_nfsv4, so adding a enable_nfsv41
seem to me made sense...

Its not... If the --enable_nfsv41 is not set, the 4.1 functional is
off. Having this type of flag enables the distros to enable the
functionality on development kernels but disable it on stable 
kernels, without any additional patches. Again to me, its seems
like the cleanest way to do it...

Fixed...
