layout drivers
--------------
PNFS utilizes what is called layout drivers. The STD defines 3 basic
layout types: "files" "objects" and "blocks". For each of these types
there is a layout-driver with a common function-vectors table which
are called by the nfs-client pnfs-core to implement the different layout
types.
