Greg,
In 3.4.5, a regression was introduced from commit: ee92389156 "SUNRPC: move per-net operations from svc_destroy()". This regression was actually fixed in a later upstream patch in v3.5-rc1, specifically 4db77695bf5 "LockD: pass service to per-net up and down functions", which means there is no stock kernel.org kernel that exhibits this particular crash. Please add 4db77695bf5 to the 3.4.Y, it should cherry-pick cleanly. Below is the stack trace you can get from lockd initiation crashing if you try to mount a file system with locks when lockd is not running.
