Non-local flags are not defined, so they are not permitted to
be exported over NFS.

You'll find the same thing with the number of bits in major
and minor number, etc..  For a long time (until Julian added
the first devfs to FreeBSD), it was not possible to NFS-boot
a FreeBSD box off of e.g. an Alpha running TRU64 UNIX, for
example.
