Gah. Does this fix it?
A struct xdr_stream at a page boundary might point to the end of one
page or the beginning of the next, and I'm guessing xdr_truncate_encode
wasn't prepared to handle the former.
This happens if the readdir entry that would have exceeded the client's
dircount/maxcount limit would have ended exactly on a 4k page boundary,
and inspection of the trace shows you're hitting exactly that case.
If this does the job then I'll go figure out how to make this logic less
ugly....
