Subject: [nfsv4] Support for mounting root file system via NFSv4

I would like to ask if there is any plan to provide support for mounting
root file system via nfsv4. I am working on a virtualization aware file
system project and I would greatly appreciate that kind of support. If no
such plan exists, is there any way to mount root in a diskless client via
nfsv4 without using an initrd?

Thanks a lot,
Giorgos Kappes
