NFS clients do not require requests to finish in submit order. I
don't understand what this has to do with the price of wheat,
though--only one thread is sending on the socket at any time.
Recently our maintainer was proposing that NFS Compound would also be
parallelized. (I've never thought that was a good idea either.)
What can be parallelized is something the FSAL knows, not an absolute.
