bug#47956: nfs-root-fs test is failing

Hi Mathieu!

I’d like to ask you to apply my patch. It paves the way for using nfs-shares 
inside virtual machines, which is not possible today. This is certainly a good 
impovement. 

The patch also fixes the nfs-root test. It would certainly work, if networking 
in qemu during the bootup works and if the two virtual machines are able to 
communicate via IP to each other.

It woud be sufficient to comment out the nfs-root test or even only the client 
part of it. But please don’t throw it away!

If either the kernel or the initrd will be changed to support networking in 
qemu, then this test needs possibly only small adjustments to start working. 
For the networking part at bootup it is enough to add CONFIG_E1000 when 
building linux-libre. Is that an acceptable change? If so then I could give it 
another try.


Bye

Stefan
