Add filesystem context support to NFS, parsing the options in advance and
attaching the information to struct nfs_fs_context. The highlights are:
(*) Merge nfs_mount_info and nfs_clone_mount into nfs_fs_context. This
structure represents NFS's superblock config.
(*) Make use of the VFS's parsing support to split comma-separated lists
(*) Pin the NFS protocol module in the nfs_fs_context.
(*) Attach supplementary error information to fs_context. This has the
downside that these strings must be static and can't be formatted.
(*) Remove the auxiliary file_system_type structs since the information
necessary can be conveyed in the nfs_fs_context struct instead.
(*) Root mounts are made by duplicating the config for the requested mount
so as to have the same parameters. Submounts pick up their parameters
from the parent superblock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
