From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@redhat.com>

You can use nfsd/portlist to give nfsd additional sockets to listen on.
In theory you can also remove listening sockets this way.  But nobody's
ever done that as far as I can tell.

Also this was partially broken in 2.6.25, by
a217813f9067b785241cb7f31956e51d2071703a "knfsd: Support adding
transports by writing portlist file".

(Note that we decide whether to take the "delfd" case by checking for a
digit--but what's actually expected in that case is something made by
svc_one_sock_name(), which won't begin with a digit.)

So, let's just rip out this stuff.

OK, maybe this is somewhat of a troll patch--but I don't actually know
how to fix this interface, so: do we really have a use for it?

Neil, was the the "-portname" thing originally yours?  Did you have a
use case in mind?

Yes it was mine.  It seemed like a good idea at a time.
If you can turn something on, you should be able to turn it off too.

When do ports get closed?  Just on last-server-exit?  As you know, I don't
like the idea of things happening on last-server-exit, but it does seem to
work.  Mostly.

There doesn't seem to be any really need to close sockets independently so we
may as well rip this code out.  It can be added again if a need is found.
