There's currently an open Ubuntu bug[0], with the intent to compile NFS_FSCACHE
(and possibly AFS_FSCACHE, 9P_FSCACHE) into the standard Ubuntu kernel.
However, since *_FSCACHE still depends on EXPERIMENTAL, this won't happen.
As Arjan van de Ven pointed out[1], the EXPERIMENTAL flag doesn't mean that
much any more, I propose the following patch to fs/nfs/Kconfig. I'd do the
same for fs/9p/Kconfig and fs/afs/Kconfig, but as I did not test 9p or AFS, I
feel it would not be appropriate for me to remove the flag.

Most people say N here.
config NFS_FSCACHE
- bool "Provide NFS client caching support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- depends on EXPERIMENTAL
+ bool "Provide NFS client caching support"
depends on NFS_FS=m && FSCACHE || NFS_FS=y && FSCACHE=y

Say Y here if you want NFS data to be cached locally on disc through
