    svcrpc: support multiple-fragment rpc's · 836fbadb

    Over TCP, RPC's are preceded by a single 4-byte field telling you how
    long the rpc is (in bytes).  The spec also allows you to send an RPC in
    multiple such records (the high bit of the length field is used to tell
    you whether this is the final record).
    
    We've survived for years without supporting this because in practice the
    clients we care about don't use it.  But the userland rpc libraries do,
    and every now and then an experimental client will run into this.  (Most
    recently I noticed it while trying to write a pynfs check.)  And we're
    really on the wrong side of the spec here--let's fix this.
