Default network accessed disks

introducing what i'm calling network accessed disks, which are roughly
similar to network block devices. it's really a kernel/userland gateway
for disk i/o, with a userland component fetching data over the network.
for this reason, the interface is called "ud" instead of "nad".
the code works, but it's rough.
1. no glue included. you're on your own patching conf.c and MAKEDEV.
2. no documentation.
3. it's "student code" not production code.

i'm dumping a tarball, as is, at http://www.zeitbombe.org/nad.tgz. no
warranty, no guarantee, no support.
