Probably there should be at least an easy way to tell knfsd to *not*
try to serve nfs over tcp, otherwise if you have many nfs-over-tcp
capable clients, you are in trouble.

Two more things not working properly:

- Hanging TCP connections
If you try to establish many tcp connections over local interface
at the same time, some of them stay dead forever (many hours) -
one end in SYN_WAIT, other end in ESTABLISHED.

- Serial driver hanging on close()
Under some rare conditions (probably if the modem hangs up with
CTS line down) close() never returns.

Both problems do not appear under 2.0.anything
