This is so FSs will not depend on NFSD. Though the actual implementtation
could be done via a vector that gets set at NFSD load.
 
Though I would like to keep it here, because I have a patchset
which implements pNFS without NFSD at all. It enables a set
of IOCTLs or syscalls and uses the same exact FS interface
introduced here but sends the info to a user mode server.

Though again it can be just its own library without regard
to exportfs at all. linked in by any user code that needs
it.
