What you need here is a mount program that understands WebNFS. No change 
is required for the kernel.

However, as far as I know there is no mount program for Linux that
supports WebNFS. Amd tried to implement it at some point, but the idea
quickly died off for lack of interest and users. Maybe I'll have another 
try at it some day, but if you're not using amd anyway then there is no 
point in wasting my time...

Probably.
