I'm not entirely sure what this gibberish means, but I'm pretty sure it
does not make sense.

EXPORTFS is a small module that doesn't have any dependencie, and it's
needed by XFS for the by-handle operation, and by nfsd for the same
thing. It has absolutely nothing to do with networking or network
filesystems (as in network filesystem clients).
