Message:

nfs-utils: correct description of --disable-nfsv4 switch, and note that autonegotiation will fail if CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is enabled at either end. Reported by John Frankish. I suspect the failure is because we do not install portmapper any more (the data he provided showed it was being invoked during the negotiation).
