Any hints at a workaround in the meantime? It's especially nasty since a
dead NFS server locks up the clients completely.

Title:
  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
  0000000000000010, set_nfsv4_acl_one+0x21/0xb0 [nfsd]

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  I've seen this happen twice in the last 8 days on an NFS server
  running Ubuntu precise and kernels 3.2.0-65.98-generic (on the first
  occasion) and 3.2.0-67.101-generic (the second time), amd64. This
  never happened before in several months of operation; until 2014-07-01
  this server was running an older 3.2.0 kernel.

  When this error appears in the logs, the system stops answering NFS
  RPCs (e.g., "rpcinfo -u localhost nfs 3" hangs) and a reboot is
  necessary to restore NFS service. A more detailed stack trace follows.
  Looking at the source code (fs/nfsd/vfs.c:set_nfsv4_acl_one()) I see
  that the call posix_acl_xattr_size(pacl->a_count) is not preceded by a
  check that pacl != NULL. Could this be related to the following entry
  in the changelog for 3.2.0-65.98?

    * NFSD: Call ->set_acl with a NULL ACL structure if no entries
      - LP: #1328154
