We don't have nfsv4 yet. This is getting to be a Problem(TM).

The conclusion seems to be that we should import FreeBSD's new nfs
code that includes nfsv4, and once/if we get it to a decent level of
stability, shoot our old nfs code. The problem with this is that
someone needs to do it.

The alternative appears to be writing a new nfsv4 implementation, and
that's an even bigger problem from the getting-things-done point of
view.
