This patch implements /proc/sys/net/nfs/noac-timeout

When a nonzero value is written, suspend atribute caching for the current
working directory and one level of files inside for the specified number
of seconds. Attribute caching will automatically be enabled when the time
elapses. Writing a zero re-enables attribute caching as well. Reading
yields the number of remaining seconds attribute caching will be disabled.

Fixed in 2.6.17-noac-timeout.patch:
-	ESTALE when trying it out exactly on the mountpoint. A tcpdump
	revealed that the kernel tries to do a LOOKUP "/" on ino 2 which
	of course cannot be found on the server.
