sunrpc patch that fixes nfs-server initialization timeouts

[George Prekas]

This patch fixes the problem that is causing the following error message:

Cannot register service: RPC: Timed out
rpcmisc.c 99 : unable to register

The problem is described here:

Sunrpc uses an ioctl to get the local IP address of the machine. This is error prone and in case you have more than one network interfaces it will most probably not work. A better alternative would be to use the loopback address (127.0.0.1).

The procedure to apply the patch is the following:
* Download source packages nfs-server and sunrpc.
* Execute use_loopback.sh
