    Since we're still limiting attributes to a page, the result here is that
    a large getattr result will return NFS4ERR_REP_TOO_BIG/TOO_BIG_TO_CACHE
    instead of NFS4ERR_RESOURCE.
    
    Both error returns are wrong, and the real bug here is the arbitrary
    limit on getattr results, fixed by as-yet out-of-tree patches.  But at a
    minimum we can make life easier for clients by sticking to one broken
    behavior in released kernels instead of two....
    
    Trond says:
    
    	one immediate consequence of this patch will be that NFSv4.1
    	clients will now report EIO instead of EREMOTEIO if they hit the
    	problem. That may make debugging a little less obvious.
    
    	Another consequence will be that if we ever do try to add client
    	side handling of NFS4ERR_REP_TOO_BIG, then we now have to deal
    	with the “handle existing buggy server” syndrome.
