[pnfs] pNFS server implementation ready on 2.6.23

[Labiaga, Ricardo]

The 2.6.23 pNFS server is currently located at:
    git://linux-nfs.org/~labiaga/linux-pnfs-2.6-latest.git

Can you please give it a try?  We can move it to a more permanent place
once we have consensus.
 
Thanks,

	The pNFS server port to 2.6.23 is ready.  The back channel has
also been ported.  We have tested with our files based driver, Marc has
tested the basic operations with GPFS.  As I understand, Benny is
working on a client-side bug in the callback path that is preventing us
to test it further.  With this, the 2.6.23 server is functionally
equivalent to the 2.6.18 pNFS server.
	 
	I'd like to propose that we move to this latest version of the
server and test it with the object based driver to take to the next
Bakeathon.  Further patches would be in the 2.6.23 server line, and not
in the 2.6.18 server line.  We would continue working with the 2.6.18
client until we're done implementing the 2.6.23 client.  On that note,
we're making progress on the client, but need a couple more weeks to
complete the fore-channel re-implementation, and then work with Andy to
add the pNFS functionality.
