NFSd makes sure there is enough space to hold the maximum possible reply
before accepting a request.  The units for this maximum is (4byte) words.
However in three places, particularly for read request, the number given is
a number of bytes.

This means too much space is reserved which is slightly wasteful.

This is the sort of patch that could uncover a deeper bug, and it is not
critical, so it would be best for it to spend a while in -mm before going
in to mainline.

A recent patch which checked the return status of vfs_getattr in nfsd,
completely missed the nfsproc.c (NFSv2) part.  Here is it.

This patch moved the call to vfs_getattr from the xdr encoding (at which point
it is too late to return an error) to the call handling.  This means several
calls to vfs_getattr are needed in nfsproc.c.  Many are encapsulated in
nfsd_return_attrs and nfsd_return_dirop.

 Add the missing NFS3ERR_NOTSUPP error code (defined in NFSv3) to the
 system-to-protocol-error table in nfsd.  The nfsacl extension uses this error
 code.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
