Thanks for your patch.

I am quite honestly on the fence about this one. It doesn't
seem to make a difference behaviorally or in terms of code
legibility.

A broader clean-up that moves set_max_drc and those global
variables into nfs4state.c might be better, but again, there
isn't much to justify such a change.

Bruce, any thoughts?
