I looked a bit to this problem, and if I remember properly, the only way
to do this is to delete the export attribute and re-export the FS. With
the current interface, there's no way to tell the NFS server that is
export lists are not up-to-date. If we define a new syscall for this,
we can design a much cleaner interface (either allow changing an existing list,
or stop/resume NFS server - maybe both).
