Note that even that is not needed - nfsservctl() can be easily removed; essentially it's a userland code. mkdir /dev/nfsctl, have nfsd mounted on it and nfsservctl() is open /dev/nfsctl/blah write request possibly read reply close Kernel code does exactly that, the only difference is that it creates a temporary vfsmount not attached anywhere. End of story. Modular case is handled automatically - if nfsd is not loaded, mounting (either explicit or do_kern_mount() called in kernel version) will happily load the module - as with any other filesystem type.
