knfsd does *not* use netlinks.
There are some patches floating around that do use netlinks for an
up-call, but they are not part of the knfsd stuff on source-forge, and
they shouldn't be (it is an interesting idea but needs more work).
The code that is being suggested for 2.2.16 does NOT contain netlink
related code.
