It is still in the 2.6.16 tree I'm looking at; else I wouldn't ask :)

linux/fs/nfs/direct.c has this:

#define MAX_DIRECTIO_SIZE       (4096UL << PAGE_SHIFT)
...
static inline int
nfs_get_user_pages(int rw, unsigned long user_addr, size_t size,
                struct page ***pages)
{
        int result = -ENOMEM;
        unsigned long page_count;
        size_t array_size;

        /* set an arbitrary limit to prevent type overflow */
        /* XXX: this can probably be as large as INT_MAX */
        if (size > MAX_DIRECTIO_SIZE) {
                *pages = NULL;
                return -EFBIG;
        }
