Umm, yes: it sounds like a pretty useless idea.  But you can do that
today with a userland nfs server, so why explicitly forbid it for
the kernel nfs server.  In either case you absolutely have to want it,
you're not going to accidentally NFS export a file system.

I'm still trying to understand what problem we're trying to solve here.
