Slightly modify NFS to allow you to "export" a device.

Since the NFS code already allows you to mount remote 'files' you're good
to go.

Congradulations you've got your NBD and you only spent 2 hours (if that)
on it.

Jesus people...  If you've got this much free time, implement something
that will actually be USEFUL over a wide variety of problem sets like SCSI
over IP.  Hacking around implementing anything else from scratch is a
waste of time.
