I'd say this is just the opposite direction of where things seem to be
going nowadays.
AFAICS, the current solution to this problem is to use initrd /
initramfs with a user-space dhcp client and nice script to get the DNS
information into /etc/resolv.conf.
With this in place you can even drop the DHCP / NFS-root support from
the kernel and have it all done in user-space.
This seems to be the current trend, and I wouldn't be surprised if the
options for IP auto config and NFS root were dropped from mainline in
the future.
