I can see that I am very wrong about how simple this is. I think that
extra data or code is needed to solve this problem.

Here are some questions:
 1. do we need nfsd/exports at all? (No ones seems to have noticed that
    the information it gives is not very human readable.)
 2. If yes. What is it for? It seems to me it is needed to show what
    export a given IP is mapped to.
 3. Should exportfs have a switch that to display the kernel export
    cache is some nice format or formats.
