Cover letter [PATCH 0/2] pnfs-block: move device mapping from kernel to user daemon

These two patches move the complex block layout device mapping from the kernel to a user space daemon. The first patch adds a simple upcall mechanism via pipefs for the kernel piece to communicate with the daemon. The second patch removes the kernel device mapping and replaces it with calls to the daemon.

Passes Connectathon tests to both EMC and spnfs servers.

The user daemon will be sent separately as a patch to nfs-utils.
