You have to get the latest linux-nfs package and compile it. It will
give you some userspace programs that will replace the standard nfsd
and take advantage of the kernel extended functionnality. It comes
with detailed explanations.

I believe the latest version is at least 0.4.22, but I do not remember
where I found it. It compiles also on an alpha (with a little hacking).
