- 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.

fix for layered-file-removal. It will work for the case of accessing
and deleting a file through the layered file system. Accessing via
the layer and deleting on the underlying still won't work, nor will
accessing via complicated structures (like two umap layers over a
given file systems).
We still need VOP_UPCALL(), but this is better than things were before.
This patch has been discussed off & on for a while. This incarnation
was tested by hannken at netbsd dot org.
the functionality of nullfs. The latter is now just a mount & unmount
routine, and a few tables. umapfs borrow most of this infrastructure.
Both fs's are now nfs-exportable.
All layered fs's share a common format to private mount & private
vnode structs (which a particular fs can extend).
Also add genfs_noerr_rele(), a vnode op which will vrele/vput
operand vnodes appropriately.
