Well, another way it could be handled would be to put the sysctls and
the global variables they manipulate in a module shared by both clients,
like sys/nfs/nfs_lock.c (module "nfslock"). Then the same sysctl would
affect both clients. (I hesitate to create "yet another" module just
to share the sysctls, but since "nfslock" is used by both clients, it
should work ok, I think.)

What do you think of that?

If anyone else reading this has an idea/opinion, please let us know.
