Subject: [PATCH v1 1/8] NFSD: Optimize nfsd4_encode_operation()

write_bytes_to_xdr_buf() is a generic way to place a variable-length
data item in an already-reserved spot in the encoding buffer.
However, it is costly, and here, it is unnecessary because the
data item is fixed in size, the buffer destination address is
always word-aligned, and the destination location is already in
@p.

write_bytes_to_xdr_buf() is pretty expensive to use for inserting
an XDR data item that is always 1 XDR_UNIT at an address that is
always XDR word-aligned.

Since both the readv and splice read paths encode EOF and maxcount
values, move both to a common code path.

I hit "Send" too soon. Here's the cover letter for this series.

write_bytes_to_xdr_buf() is a generic mechanism by which to push
an arbitrary set of bytes to an arbitrary alignment within an
xdr_buf. It's expensive to use, though.

I found several hot paths in the server's NFSv4 reply encoders
that write a 4-byte XDR data item on a 4-byte alignment, and
thus can use the classic "*p = cpu_to_be32(yada)" form instead
of write_bytes_to_xdr_buf().

This series replaces some write_bytes_to_xdr_buf() call sites.

Nice cleanup. This series looks good to me (and it's a net-negative LoC
