Hmm, shouldent the nfs module have no kernel threads running when it's
not in use (compiled in/insmoded, but no mounts (yet/anymore) ).

Ie only have nfsiod(s) about when nfs is activly (sp?) being used, or
activly trying to mount one (activly means we have a nfs tree imported
now).

You (we) could have one nfsiod per imported tree, instead of 4 all at once
which would make more sense from a user point of view, but I don't know
from an implementation point of view.

I would have thought that keeping n processes up to date with each other
would be a real pain, but thing's must be differant in a kernel thread,
but letting a one process watch the activity on a nfs mounted tree.
