Document VFS changes:
VFS_CHECKEXP.9, now used to check export credentials VFS_FHTOVP.9, only used for filehandle to vnode, no access checks are done. VFS.9, inform people of the vfs_std* functions available to avoid ugly casts to eopnotsup and making of dummy functions to return 0.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm VFS_CHECKEXP
+.Nd check if vnode is exported to a client
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <sys/param.h>
+.Fd #include <sys/mount.h>
+.Fd #include <sys/vnode.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn VFS_CHECKEXP "struct mount *mp" "struct mbuf *nam" "int *exflagsp" "struct ucred **credanonp"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This is used by the NFS server to check if a vnode is exported to a client.
+.Pp
+Its arguments are:
+.Bl -tag -width credanonp
+.It Ar mp
+The mount point to be checked.
+.It Ar nam
+An mbuf containing the network address of the client.
+.It Ar exflagsp
+Return parameter for the export flags for this client.
+.It Ar credanonp
+Return parameter for the anonymous credentials for this client.
+.El
+.Pp
+This should be called on a file system's mount structure to determine if it
+is exported to a client whos address is contained in
+.Fa nam .
+.Pp
+It is generally called before
+.Xr VFS_FHTOVP 9
+to validate that a client has access to the filesystem.
+.Pp
+The filesystem should call
+.Xr vfs_export_lookup 9
+with the address of an appropriate
+.Dv netexport
+structure and the address of the client,
+.Fa nam ,
+to verify that the client can access this filesystem.
+.Pp
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The export flags and anonymous credentials specific to the client
+will be returned in
+.Fa *exflagsp
+and
+.Fa *credanonp .
