For the linux client, I think that is correct.

I don't know the answer here.  I imagine a client could leave off checking
for local lock conflicts.

I have a set of patches that stuff nlm_lockowner into fl_owner on the
server.  That allows us to set fl_pid of lockd and not lose the svid.  I am
just testing them thoroughly at this point, and I'll probably get them
posted tomorrow.
