Bug Description
In newer kernels (>= 3.6) the nfs modules were split up and we have to include nfsv3, nfsv4, and nfs_acl now. This was already fixed in raring in initramfs-tools 0.103ubuntu0.3, but precise with lts-raring kernel is still affected.
Marking those modules for inclusion even on older kernels where they don't exist seems to be safe. initramfs-tools doesn't complain.
[Impact]
We have to manually configure the initramfs to include nfsv3/nfsv4 modules before we can boot from NFS.
It is not possible to boot the 12.04.3 LiveCD from NFS (regression compared to .0/.1/.2).
[Test Case]
With linux-image-
gunzip -c /boot/initrd.
nfsv3.ko and nfsv4.ko should both be present.
[Regression Potential]
Minimal. The change adds three extra modules to the initramfs, and they are ignored on kernels that don't have them.
