The LOCALIO auxiliary RPC protocol consists of a single "UUID_IS_LOCAL"
RPC method that allows the Linux NFS client to verify the local Linux
NFS server can see the nonce (single-use UUID) the client generated and
made available in nfs_common for subsequent lookup and verification
by the NFS server.  If matched, the NFS server populates members in the
nfs_uuid_t struct.  The NFS client then transfers these nfs_uuid_t
struct member pointers to the nfs_client struct and cleans up the
nfs_uuid_t struct.  See: fs/nfs/localio.c:nfs_local_probe()

This protocol isn't part of an IETF standard, nor does it need to be
considering it is Linux-to-Linux auxiliary RPC protocol that amounts
to an implementation detail.

Localio is only supported when UNIX-style authentication (AUTH_UNIX, aka
AUTH_SYS) is used (enforced by fs/nfs/localio.c:nfs_local_probe()).

The UUID_IS_LOCAL method encodes the client generated uuid_t in terms of
the fixed UUID_SIZE (16 bytes).  The fixed size opaque encode and decode
XDR methods are used instead of the less efficient variable sized
methods.

Having a nonce (single-use uuid) is better than using the same uuid
for the life of the server, and sending it proactively by client
rather than reactively by the server is also safer.
