I'm working on that.

Here's the kernel patch needed to get the basic minimal NFSv3
functionality to work.  (Note the big long mount invocation switching
off tons of stuff.  This patch makes it work ONCE YOU'VE SWITCHED ALL
THAT OFF.  No portmap, no lockd, no dns resolution...)

Also, note that if the host and container ever try to use the same IP,
the NFS cacheing stuff mixes stuff together and it all goes pear shaped.

As I said: working on it...
