Rewrite?  What?

It's example code of what NFS could export through this interface.  I didn't
submit it to Linus with the rest of the patches as it's only an example; same
for the ext4 example.  I've tried running it past you and other NFS people a
couple of times to try and elicit a response and wanted to try and ask you
about it at LSF:-(

Anyway, I've dropped it for now.
