To enable NFSv4 to work correctly, NFSv4 client identifiers have
to be globally unique and persistent over client reboots. We
believe that in many cases, a good default identifier can be
chosen and set when a client system is imaged.
Because there are many different ways a system can be imaged,
provide an explanation of how NFSv4 client identifiers and
principals can be set by install scripts and imaging tools.
Additional cases, such as NFSv4 clients running in containers, also
need unique and persistent identifiers. The Linux NFS community
sets forth this explanation to aid those who create and manage
container environments.

We've supported reexport for a while but documentation is limited. This
is mainly a simplified version of the text I wrote for the linux-nfs
wiki at https://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/NFS_re-export.

Convert rpc-cache.txt to ReST. Changes aim to improve presentation
but the content itself remains mostly the same.
