- Remove all NFS related stuff from file system specific code.
- Drop the vfs_checkexp hook and generalize it in the new nfs_check_export
function, thus removing redundancy from all file systems.
- Move all NFS export-related stuff from kern/vfs_subr.c to the new
file sys/nfs/nfs_export.c. The former was becoming large and its code
is always compiled, regardless of the build options. Using the latter,
the code is only compiled in when NFSSERVER is enabled. While doing this,
also make some functions in nfs_subs.c conditional to NFSSERVER.
- Add a new command in nfssvc(2), called NFSSVC_SETEXPORTSLIST, that takes a
path and a set of export entries. At the moment it can only clear the
exports list or append entries, one by one, but it is done in a way that
allows setting the whole set of entries atomically in the future (see the
comment in mountd_set_exports_list or in doc/TODO).
- Change mountd(8) to use the nfssvc(2) system call instead of mount(2) so
that it becomes file system agnostic. In fact, all this whole thing was
done to remove a 'XXX' block from this utility!
- Change the mount*, newfs and fsck* userland utilities to not deal with NFS
exports initialization; done internally by the kernel when initializing
the NFS support for each file system.
- Implement an interface for VFS (called VFS hooks) so that several kernel
subsystems can run arbitrary code upon receipt of specific VFS events.
At the moment, this only provides support for unmount and is used to
destroy NFS exports lists from the file systems being unmounted, though it
has room for extension.

setting "wasclean" false when encountering them.

- genfs_putpages: write protect pages when cleaning out, if
we're going to take the vnode off the syncer's queue.
uvm_fault: don't write-map pages unless its vnode is already on
the syncer's queue.

- genfs_putpages: don't mistakenly take a vnode off the queue

genfs_getpages: increment the generation number.

We cannot call vgone() from procfs_inactive() if we are coming from
vclean(). that's what's probably causing the deadlock.

- Use VFS_ATTACH() where vfsops are declared for individual file systems.
- In vfsinit(), traverse the "vfsops" link set, rather than vfs_list_initial[].

1. make fileops const
2. add 2 new negative errno's to `officially' support the cloning hack:
- EDUPFD (used to overload ENODEV)
- EMOVEFD (used to overload ENXIO)
3. Created an fdclone() function to encapsulate the operations needed for
EMOVEFD, and made all cloners use it.
4. Centralize the local noop/badop fileops functions to:
fnullop_fcntl, fnullop_poll, fnullop_kqfilter, fbadop_stat
