There are some very old ISO standards that cover NFS locking; they are
old enough that they are not usefule.
The lockd itself is pretty trivial if you have a sniffer.
The statd stuff is much harder.
Some changes were suggested to the lock mechanisms for support of NFS
host ID as part of the hash index on lookup for F_[SG]ETLCK{W}. These
would need to go in before any implementation could really make any
progress.
