Trond made a change to the server's tcp logic that allows a fast
client to better take advantage of high bandwidth networks, but
may increase the risk that a single client could starve other
clients; a new sunrpc.svc_rpc_per_connection_limit parameter
should help mitigate this in the (hopefully unlikely) event this
becomes a problem in practice.
Tom Haynes added a minimal flex-layout pnfs server, which is of
no use in production for now--don't build it unless you're doing
client testing or further server development.
