The rpc_pipefs filesysem which is mounted on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs
creates
new channels for talking to userspace by making new pipes appear in
some
directory. Any client needs to arrange some notification for these
new pipes
appearing so that it can open them and hold a conversation over them.
This calls for dnotify (in gssd and idmapd) or inotify (in blkmapd).
... or just adding ->poll() to the directory in question and using the
normal syscalls instead of all that weird crap.
