Some attributes (such as the servers backing a network filesystem) can have
multiple values.  These can be enumerated by setting params->Nth and
params->Mth to 0, 1, ... until ENODATA is returned.

How does the caller know whether or not a particular attribute has
multiple values?  Is that a fundamental attribute of a particular
attribute?  (e.g., the documentation for each attribute must state
whether or not that attribute returns multiple attributes or not)
