i use nfs for this but i don't like it.

we have vtnet and vtbd. where is vtfs?

as in, a vm-independent (virtualbox, vmware, bhyve, kvm, xen, etc) 
standard that would let sysadmins export file systems through something 
that might look to the guest a lot like vfs, but would be implemented in 
the host a lot like nullfs (so, more like jails in this way.)

i realize that apple and microsoft clients would have hell to pay with 
semantic incompatibilities like case-sensitive file names. but i still 
want it, because i want mmap for high performance read-write multi-vm 
applications, and nfs prohibits this.
