>Description:
	TCP NFS over IPv6 does not work right.  I've tested it with:
	- NetBSD 1.5_ALPHA client, NetBSD-current server
	- Solaris8 client, NetBSD-current server
	- NetBSD-current client/server (loopback)
	and they all failed if we use TCP.

	UDP NFS over IPv6 works just fine for all cases.
>How-To-Repeat:
	1. delete 127.0.0.1 from /etc/hosts, to map "localhost" into ::1.
	2. export /usr.
	3. mount -T localhost:/usr /mnt.  see that the operation makes no
	   progress.
	4. if you try tcpdump on loopback interface, you will see that tthe
	   tcp stream does not get ACKed (is it a TCP issue, not nfs issue?)

	for comparison:
	a. if you use IPv4 (map "localhost" into 127.0.0.1), it works.
	b. if you use udp (no -T), it works.

	there seems to be some other issue in mountd(8), with -noprivport and
	-noprivmnt.
