Yes, I think we can just blanket this as +4k and it wouldn't change
much; I've been using 1MB+4k for rdma in previous tests...

We still aren't doing things 4k at a time with this though, I'd suggest
rounding down the rsize > msize check in p9_client_read_once():

        if (!rsize || rsize > clnt->msize - P9_IOHDRSZ)
                rsize = clnt->msize - P9_IOHDRSZ;

to something that's better aligned; for some reason I thought we had
that already.  . . but thinking again the sizes are probably driven by
the cache and will be 4k multiples already?

There's P9_IOHDRSZ for that ;)

But I guess with the comment it doesn't matter much either way.
