These two hunks should go through separate trees, I think.

The clnt.c hunk needs to go through Anna and Trond's NFS client
tree, and the svc_rdma_transport.c hunk can go through the NFSD
tree (ie, To: me and Jeff).

Can you send two separate patches, please? The RDMA hunk looks OK to
me and I plan to apply it upon receipt of a separate patch.
