    SUNRPC: Support IPv6 when registering kernel RPC services · a26cfad6
    Chuck Lever authored
    In order to advertise NFS-related services on IPv6 interfaces via
    rpcbind, the kernel RPC server implementation must use
    rpcb_v4_register() instead of rpcb_register().
    
    A new kernel build option allows distributions to use the legacy
    v2 call until they integrate an appropriate user-space rpcbind
    daemon that can support IPv6 RPC services.
    
    I tried adding some automatic logic to fall back if registering
    with a v4 protocol request failed, but there are too many corner
    cases.  So I just made it a compile-time switch that distributions
    can throw when they've replaced portmapper with rpcbind.
