Clean up: refresh the help text for Kconfig items related to the sunrpc
module.  Remove obsolete URLs, and make the language consistent among
the options.

This option enables an RPC client transport capability that
allows the NFS client to mount servers via an RDMA-enabled
transport.
To compile RPC client RDMA transport support as a module,
choose M here: the module will be called xprtrdma.
If unsure, say N.

help
Provides kernel support for querying rpcbind servers via versions 3
and 4 of the rpcbind protocol. The kernel automatically falls back
to version 2 if a remote rpcbind service does not support versions
3 or 4.
RPC requests over IPv6 networks require support for larger
addresses when performing an RPC bind. Sun added support for
IPv6 addressing by creating two new versions of the rpcbind
protocol (RFC 1833).
This option enables support in the kernel RPC client for
querying rpcbind servers via versions 3 and 4 of the rpcbind
protocol. The kernel automatically falls back to version 2
if a remote rpcbind service does not support versions 3 or 4.
By themselves, these new versions do not provide support for
RPC over IPv6, but the new protocol versions are necessary to
support it.
If unsure, say N to get traditional behavior (version 2 rpcbind
requests only).

NFSv4.

available from http://linux-nfs.org/. In addition, user-space
Kerberos support should be installed.
