Subject: [NFS] [PATCH 00/29] IPv6 for NFS client

Oh boy! Another big patch set from Chuck!

Here's a set of patches that add support for AF_INET6 addresses to
Linux's in-kernel NFS client (not the mount command, NLM/NSM, or
rpcbind). These are a pre-requisite for full IPv6 support for Linux's
NFS implementation.

These are similar to the set I sent two weeks ago, with some clean-ups.
The clean-ups mostly reduce the number of explicit type casts we're left
with at the end of the series, to make things easier to read.

Some testing with NFSv3 and NFSv4 using IPv4 addresses has been done to
verify that IPv4 isn't broken (badly) by these changes. Support for IPv6
in the new text-based mount command is still under construction, and will
be along soon.

I think these are ready to consider for 2.6.25.
