Proposal: Starting statd on demand
Subsystems (2)
It's a well-known security principle that services should not be running when they are not needed.
I would like to make statd follow that principle.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how? I don't want to reinvent an already-proposed wheel.

You may want to try my kernel statd patch. It implements a minimal statd that just supports NULL and SM_NOTIFY in kernel, as an additional RPC program registered on the same port as lockd.
Note that you still need to have some user land support for statd which sends out the SM_NOTIFY calls on reboot.
