This one happens to break nfs in a rather blunt-instrument fashion -
creating files on a nfs4 partition [1] no longer works. Bisection
yields this commit as the culprit:

    NFSv4: Fix a regression against the FreeBSD server
    
    Technically, the Linux client is allowed by the NFSv4 spec to send
    3 word bitmaps as part of an OPEN request. However, this causes the
    current FreeBSD server to return NFS4ERR_ATTRNOTSUPP errors.
    
    Fix the regression by making the Linux client use a 2 word bitmap unless
    doing NFSv4.2 with labeled NFS.

Reverting the patch returns things to normal.

Thanks,
