Thank you for this. I looked at this around 8 months ago but abandoned
further work on it because the approach I was taking required that
nfs be refactored to use the nmount() API, and because I am not currently
using NFS. It looks as though the two options implemented here helps to
address the problems I was having with making sure Linux servers got
the right lock cookie response.

Have you tested this in production and does it work well? If so I believe
it should be committed, but I'd defer to Alfred for further review.
