SUNRPC: Allow the cache_detail to specify alternative upcall mechanisms
For events that are rare, such as referral DNS lookups, it makes limited
sense to have a daemon constantly listening for upcalls on a channel. An
alternative in those cases might simply be to run the app that fills the
cache using call_usermodehelper_exec() and friends.
The following patch allows the cache_detail to specify alternative upcall
mechanisms for these particular cases.
