Rick,

Can you explain why a kernel reconfig would be required if the
kernel configuration (e.g. GENERIC) hasn't been changed?

http://www.freshbsd.org/?branch=RELENG_8&project=freebsd

Possibly the commit site doesn't have the most recent commits?

I guess what I'm asking is: why is a kernel reconfig required if only
the NFS code itself changed?  A buildworld/buildkernel should be
sufficient, no?
