I've posted this to the linux-nfs mailing list for review among
others, how is that
bypassing the NFS tree? Would you prefer those things sent to you personally
as well?

This patch prepares for for the next one which changes the prototype
of the encode
functions to return an error code. Without this patch, oversights in
the next patch
would go unnoticed; with this patch, the compiler will complain.

Thanks,
Andreas
