This patch adds native support for accessing images on NFS shares without
the requirement to actually mount the entire NFS share on the host.

NFS Images can simply be specified by an url of the form:
nfs://<host>/<export>/<filename>

For example:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 nfs://10.0.0.1/qemu-images/test.qcow2

Does it support other config tunables, eg specifying which
NFS version to use 2/3/4 ? If so will they be available as
URI parameters in the obvious manner ?

currently only v3 is supported by libnfs. what other tunables would you like to 
see?


For live migration we need the sync option (async ignores O_SYNC and O_DIRECT 
sadly),
will it be supported? or will it be the default?

Since this is bypassing the client kernel FS I/O layer question around
support of things like O_SYNC/O_DIRECT are not applicable.


so no live migration support?
