Only for the modular case. What about builtin, e.g. for nfsroot?

Or is it better to not build in NFS_V4 support in that case?

config NFS_V4
          If unsure, say Y.

config NFSD_V4
          If unsure, say N.

So that's why my defconfig has NFS_V4 but not NFSD_V4.

Thanks, that's better! Booting again ;-)
