 	Hi!

  I filed bug 566588 a while back, but didn't keep track of it due to being 
otherwise occupied. I'd now like to get it fixed, because we are about to 
deploy NFSv4 with RPCSEC_GSS, and I'd love to replace DES with RC4 (best 
samba can do atm).

I've been running 10.04 with the vanilla 2.6.35 from maverick (which has 
the support), and it works like a charm, encryption-wise :) The nfs-utils 
is also from maverick plus the three patches to support the AES/3DES/RC4 
enctypes from upstream git. But I can maintain nfs-utils locally, and that 
part of the bug is out of scope here anyway.

Should I create a git branch of lucid with the commits merged from 2.6.35 
or could you pull them directly if I provide a list of commit-id's?
