NFS lowerdir support in mainline kernel anytime soon?

Hello!

Are there plans for NFS lowerdir in mainline kernel?

mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=/var.ro,upperdir=/tmp/.var.upperdir,workdir=/tmp/.var.workdir /tmp/.var.overlay

overlayfs: filesystem on '/var.ro' not supported

192.168.211.140:/sid/var on /var.ro type nfs (ro,relatime,vers=3,rsize=524288,wsize=524288,namlen=255,hard,nolock,proto=tcp,port=2049,timeo=7,retrans=10,sec=sys,local_lock=all,addr=192.168.211.140)

Linux sid 4.0.0-1-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.0.2-1 (2015-05-11) i686 GNU/Linux

Thank you. I have to put off kernel upgrade and use aufs because of this issue.
