Do the VMware people claim that this improves performance?
(I know nothing about the world of VMs, but for real hardware
 I can't see any advantage of having more than one TCP connection?
 As far as I know, the Linux client never tries to acquire a second TCP
 connection. I would have assumed trunking would be handled below
 TCP.)

This is the first client that I am aware of (and just yesterday when you pointed
it out) that uses BIND_CONN_TO_SESSION for an additional TCP connection.
(Up until now I was only aware of it being used for RDMA setups and I have no
 hardware to play with such things.)

If the VMware folk claim it does improve performance, I might get around to
it someday, although you are correct that I am working on pNFS support for the
server right now.
