The current NFS support in mkinitcpio was a shortcut, because I was too
lazy to do it properly and it was completely compatible with the classic

Doing it properly is not easy, and I never cared enough. It is certainly
not done "the right way". It is simple compatible to the 1990s way of
doing things.
