According to the busybox config help, CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_NFS is only
required for kernel versions before 2.6.23. Do we officially support
kernels that old in oe-core? Or should this be in a .bbappend etc in
separate layer?

//config:config FEATURE_MOUNT_NFS
//config:    bool "Support mounting NFS file systems on Linux < 2.6.23"
//config:    default n
//config:    depends on MOUNT
//config:    select FEATURE_SYSLOG
//config:    help
//config:    Enable mounting of NFS file systems on Linux kernels prior
//config:    to version 2.6.23. Note that in this case mounting of NFS
//config:    over IPv6 will not be possible.
//config:
//config:    Note that this option links in RPC support from libc,
//config:    which is rather large (~10 kbytes on uclibc).
