It's a little ambiguous as to whether only 32-bit servers will return
BAD_RANGE (as opposed to all servers returning BAD_RANGE in order to
make the world safe for 32-bit servers).  How about changing the last
two lines to

     beyond it, up to the end of the valid 64-bit range, such a 32-bit
     server MUST return the error NFS4ERR_BAD_RANGE.
