It is conceivable that existing code already handles the existing format
and could break, but it seems unlikely.  nfs-utils has code to parse
this file but it ignores "callback address" and doesn't care about the
content of "address" just including it in logs.

Consistency with "address" is a strong argument - strong enough to risk
the unlikely breakage.
