Well, the issue is that a read crosses a page boundary. If that would be
forbidden, load_unaligned_zeropad() would not exist. It can not know
what is in the following page. And such page crossing happens also in
the unballooned case. Sadly I can not trigger the reported NFS bug
myself. But it can be enforced by ballooning enough pages so that an
allocated readdir reply eventually is right in front of a ballooned
page.
