I think this is really close and coming together! Before we merge this
though, I'd _really_ like to see some patches for rpc.nfsd in nfs-utils.
Until we try to implement the userland bits, we won't know if we've
gotten this interface right.

...and before that, we really need to have some sort of userland program
packaged and available for querying the new netlink RPC stats from nfsd.
You have the simple userland one on github, but I think we need omething
packaged, ideally as part of nfs-utils.

Doing that first would allow you to add the necessary autoconf/libtool
stuff to pull in the netlink libraries, which will be a prerequisite for
doing the userland rpc.nfsd work, and will probably be a bit simpler
than modifying rpc.nfsd.
