You don't need to build anything in the kernel directory of linux-nfs_xcxx,
as all of the code is already in the kernel. Just modify the makefile to
comment that part out.

knfsd works differently than unfsd in the mounts it will accept. Locking
should be working, but you'll need to run statd, IIRC.
