I moved them from sys/nfsclient to sys/nfs, so that it would be more
obvious that they are shared by both NFS clients (in sys/nfsclient and
sys/fs/nfsclient). So the ones at the new location /usr/include/nfs would
not be deleted, the entry in ObsoleteFiles.inc that removed them from
/usr/include/nfs was deleted (by someone else, after discussing it with me).
I felt that they should remain in the old location for backwards compatibility.
(The "userland" contents of the two copies are identical, so it
shouldn't matter
which copy any userland app includes. One problem here is that I have no idea
if any software outside of /usr/src includes these.)

Actually, only the ones in /usr/include/nfs should get updated, because they
now live in sys/nfs and not sys/nfsclient. I plan on adding an entry to
ObsoleteFiles.inc in head/current for the /usr/include/nfsclient ones.
(Thanks for the reminder w.r.t. this.)
Should I MFC this to stable/8?
(I had assumed that I should leave them in
the old location for backwards compatibility and therefore wasn't going to
MFC deletion of them in /usr/include/nfsclient. If I MFC that, the entries
for them in ObsoleteFiles.inc for /usr/include/nfs need to be deleted, so
they remain in the new location.)

ps: Maybe I shouldn't have MFC'd the changes for making the two NFS
clients
use the shared diskless boot code, but that would have made later MFCs
difficult.
