Hmmm:

axboe@burns:[.]linux-2.5-deadline-rbtree $ grep CONFIG_NFSD_V4 < .config
641:CONFIG_NFSD_V4=y
axboe@burns:[.]linux-2.5-deadline-rbtree $ vi .config
axboe@burns:[.]linux-2.5-deadline-rbtree $ grep CONFIG_NFSD_V4 < .config
641:CONFIG_NFSD_V4=n
axboe@burns:[.]linux-2.5-deadline-rbtree $ make oldconfig
axboe@burns:[.]linux-2.5-deadline-rbtree $ grep CONFIG_NFSD_V4 < .config
641:CONFIG_NFSD_V4=y
