One step towards this would be ripping out unexpected.tdb
and replacing it with a unix domain socket interface into
nmbd. This would easily end up as a general mailslot API, we
need to receive mailslots for the getdc requests.

This is also quite low-level, and would be a great example use
of the new tevent_req async API. Count me in as a mentor for
this one.
