We've long had these pointless #ifdef MSNFS's sprinkled throughout the
code--pointless because MSNFS is always defined (and we give no config
option to make that easy to change).  So we could just remove the
ifdef's and compile the resulting code unconditionally.

But as long as we're there: why not just rip out this code entirely?
The only purpose is to implement the "msnfs" export option which turns
on Windows-like behavior in some cases, and:

	- the export option isn't documented anywhere;
	- the userland utilities (which would need to be able to parse
	  "msnfs" in an export file) don't support it;
	- I don't know how to maintain this, as I don't know what the
	  proper behavior is; and
	- google shows no evidence that anyone has ever used this.

<title>nfsd: introduce export flag for v4 pseudoroot</title>

NFSv4 differs from v2 and v3 in that it presents a single unified
filesystem tree, whereas v2 and v3 exported multiple filesystem (whose
roots could be found using a separate mount protocol).

Our original NFSv4 server implementation asked the administrator to
designate a single filesystem as the NFSv4 root, then to mount
filesystems they wished to export underneath.  (Often using bind mounts
of already-existing filesystems.)

This was conceptually simple, and allowed easy implementation, but
created a serious obstacle to upgrading between v2/v3: since the paths
to v4 filesystems were different, administrators would have to adjust
all the paths in client-side mount commands when switching to v4.

Various workarounds are possible.  For example, the administrator could
export "/" and designate it as the v4 root.  However, the security risks
of that approach are obvious, and in any case we shouldn't be requiring
the administrator to take extra steps to fix this problem; instead, the
server should present consistent paths across different versions by
default.

These patches take a modified version of that approach: we provide a new
export option which exports only a subset of a filesystem.  With this
flag, it becomes safe for mountd to export "/" by default, with no need
for additional configuration.

We begin just by defining the new flag.

<title>nfsd: let "insecure" flag vary by pseudoflavor</title>

This was an oversight; it should be among the export flags that can be
allowed to vary by pseudoflavor.  This allows an administrator to (for
example) allow auth_sys mounts only from low ports, but allow auth_krb5
mounts to use any port.

<content type='text'>
Soon we will add the new V4ROOT flag, and allow the INSECURE flag to
vary by pseudoflavor.  It would be useful for nfs-utils (for example,
for improved exportfs error reporting) to be able to know when this
happens.  Use this new interface for that purpose.

<title>nfsd: Headers Independence and include cleanups</title>

* Add includes that are directly used by headers
* Remove includes that are not needed

These are the changes made:

[xdr.h]
struct nfsd_readdirres has an embedded struct readdir_cd from nfsd.h
fixing that we can drop other includes

[xdr4.h]
embedded types defined both at state.h and nfsd.h

[syscall.h]
After export.h fix none of these stuff is needed.
fix extra space in # include &lt;&gt; statement

[stats.h]
does not need &lt;linux/nfs4.h&gt; but was export to user-mode
so I don't touch it

[state.h]
embedded types from nfsfh.h like struct knfsd_fh. bringing that
eliminates the need for all other includes

[nfsfh.h]
directly manipulating types from sunrpc/svc.h.
Removed Other unused headers.

[nfsd.h]
removed unused headers include

[export.h]
lots of sunrpc/svc.h types and a single prototype declaration
with pointer from nfsfh.h, but all users of export.h do need
nfsfh.h any way. remove now un-needed include.

[const.h]
Unfixed (not independent)

[cache.h]
could do with a forward declaration of "struct svc_rqst;"
from sunrpc/svc.h but all users absolutely will need
sunrpc/svc.h it is easier overall this way.
