[pnfs] Linux pNFS road map

[Dean Hildebrand]

I think the roadmap needs to include the open issues from the 2007 
Bakeathon in AA.  These issues are also on the wiki at 
(http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Bakeathon_2007_Issues_List) I 
believe some of them are already fixed, some are underway, and some are 
ideas for future improvement.

I just went through these issues and listed their status as either 'in 
progress/closed/open -critical/open - optimization (as best as I can).  
(at some point we need a bug tracker for this) If Benny/Ricardo/Andy 
could go through and update their status that would be really helpful.  
Also, many issues need owners.
A quick summary of critical items:
- Device export ops updates
  - Dean is working on this now.
- Sessions fixes
  - Many are already fixed by Ricardo, but need their status updated
- Ensure client does not send NULL ip address to data servers
- Destroy layouts and devices when lease times out
- Ensure COMMIT is sent to either the DS's or the MDS depending on 
whether pNFS or NFS was used to send I/O request.
- Dynamically allocate device list instead of static array
