I haven't looked at the current nfsidmap interface....  So it's
completely lacking any way to communicate failure?

Is it enough to turn off the failover in the case there's no possibility
it could have been caused by a numeric id?

If any user can set ACLs with arbitrary strings as names, then we'd be
giving any user unprivileged user the ability to turn off numeric
idmapping, so I think we need to fix that.
